The Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (DEWA) has reportedly completed linking solar rooftop plants aggregating 17.7 MW on 450 residential and commercial buildings under the net metering scheme, which was launched in early 2015. The larger portion of this capacity has been installed over the past year.

PV systems totalling 1.7 MW will be installed in the parking lots at the two sites.
