As part of the Marmoom Reserve project, the Mohamed bin Rashid Solar Power Complex will be connected to the protected area, which will be provided with clean energy to conserve the environment and promote sustainable development. The Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum Solar Complex will be the largest of its kind in a single location in the world with a capacity of 5,000 MW by 2030. Phase one and two are completed, with a capacity of 213 MW. Phase three is currently being implemented with 800 MW, to be followed by phase four with 700 MW of concentrated solar power. Clean energy will be produced over the protected facilities through the Shams Dubai initiative for the installation of a photovoltaic solar system. Green Charger stations will be installed at the Electric Vehicle Park to encourage people to use environmentally friendly vehicles. State-of-the-art Smart Meter technology will also be available in the reserve, which will include advanced features that contribute to an intelligent and environmentally friendly lifestyle. The Marmoom Reserve will be the largest sustainable environment, tourism and recreational project in the UAE. It will aim to become one of the most important desert reserves in the UAE and the region, which will host eclectic and diverse wildlife, provide shelter for a wide variety of endangered animals and birds, combining education, environmental awareness, tourism and leisure.
