Watt Footprint Showcases Energy Efficiency Expertise at RAK Energy Summit 2024
The Government of Ras Al Khaimah has long recognised the vital role sustainable energy plays in strengthening economic competitiveness. Through the RAK Energy Efficiency and Renewables Strategy 2040, an integral part of the UAE Long Term Strategy, the Emirate has committed to advancing the energy transition in support of the UAE’s ambitious net-zero targets.
Building on the success of its inaugural edition, the RAK Energy Summit returned in 2024 under the patronage of HH Sheikh Saud bin Saqr Al Qasimi, UAE Supreme Council Member and Ruler of Ras Al Khaimah. This year’s event, held on 27–28 November at the Al Hamra International Exhibition and Conference Center, brought together international thought leaders, industry trailblazers, and key decision-makers from both the public and private sectors.
Guided by the theme “Create and Contribute to the Sustainable Energy Goals of the Future,” the second edition of the summit explored a range of pivotal topics shaping the future of decarbonisation and clean energy, including:
Smart technologies driving operational efficiency
Artificial intelligence in energy management and forecasting
Fuels and grids of the future for resilient energy infrastructure
Carbon pricing as a tool for climate action
The discussions underscored the importance of innovation, collaboration, and clear policy frameworks in accelerating the shift towards sustainable energy solutions.
“Our time at the RAK Energy Summit reinforced how much momentum there is for energy efficiency in the UAE,” said Stephen St Leger, UAE Country Manager at Watt Footprint. “We look forward to continuing the conversation and helping organisations take control of their energy use, reduce waste, save costs, and cut CO₂ emissions.”
