Dubai SDME 2nd International Workshop

On April 16th, 4 team members visited Dubai to attend the SDME 2nd International Workshop. Highlights from the workshop were: 

  • We met with Vice Chairman of the Dubai Supreme Council of Energy and MD & CEO of Dubai Electricity and Water Authority and Dutch Consulate. The team received positive feedback on their activities
