The Abu Dhabi Department of Energy\u2019s (DoE) commitment to leave no one behind as it works to support the transition of the UAE capital\u2019s energy sector is one of the key elements it is highlighting as it takes part in GITEX Technology Week 2021, currently underway in Dubai, under the umbrella of Abu Dhabi Digital Authority.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The DoE is showcasing the Abu Dhabi Socioeconomic Module \u2013 part of the integrated energy model or \u2018Energy Cube\u2019 and one of several modules within the model. The module creates a structure for assessing the impact of energy sector policies on various socioeconomic factors, enabling DoE to find the policies that deliver the most beneficial results for the community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe Socioeconomic Module allows the Energy Cube to generate a range of socioeconomic outputs, such as gross domestic product, including energy sector GDP and non-energy sector GDP, employment levels and inflation among many others. It develops the DoE\u2019s capacity to assess the socioeconomic impact of alternative energy policies and supports alignment and coordination of the socioeconomic outputs with the sector stakeholders,\u201d said DoE Undersecretary H.E Eng. Mohammad Juma bin Jarsh Al Falasi. \u201cThe Socioeconomic Module is a tool that will help support and inform the policy planning process in the Emirate of Abu Dhabi and will be both based on and informed by global economic modelling. The Module will be used internally by DoE personnel, who have received extensive training in incorporating socioeconomic metrics into policymaking.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe Socioeconomic Module will play a vital role in the DoE\u2019s mission to transition to a future marked by renewables and clean energy, supporting the Emirate\u2019s position in the UAE Energy Strategy 2050, which in turn aims to increase the contribution of clean energy in the total energy mix to help reduce the carbon footprint of power generation. The Module\u2019s ability to measure the social and economic impact of various energy scenarios could be part of this journey and will help in the formulation of policies that ensure holistic impact assessment and steer the government agenda towards the benefit of the community, economy, and environment,\u201d added Al Falasi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
DoE is participating at GITEX Technology Week 2021 under the umbrella of the Abu Dhabi Digital Authority, where it will be promoting a number of initiatives to ration energy and water consumption, including the Integrated Water Management Module, which is another newly developed module from the Energy Cube.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
