The Emirates Group has entered into a significant partnership with Moro Hub, a subsidiary of Digital DEWA, to provide co-location services at the Mohammad Bin Rashid Al Maktoum Solar Park. Moro Hub, known as the world’s largest solar-powered data centre, as certified by the Guinness World Records™, will play a key role in the Emirates Group’s transition towards a more sustainable digital infrastructure.
This collaboration marks a major shift in the Emirates Group’s technology operations as it prepares for its upcoming growth phase. The group expects to begin relocating its data centre to Moro Hub in mid-2026, with the service provider offering comprehensive co-location services such as rack space, power, cooling, equipment supply, and other necessary support.
Saeed Mohammed Al Tayer, MD & CEO of Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (DEWA), emphasized the strategic importance of the partnership in a statement: “Guided by the vision and directives of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, we continue to position Dubai as a global leader in sustainable digital innovation, fully aligned with the Dubai Clean Energy Strategy 2050 and the Dubai Net Zero Carbon Emissions Strategy 2050. We are proud to strengthen the Group’s sustainability journey with this strategic move to the world’s largest green solar-powered data centre at the Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum Solar Park. This strategic alliance with the Emirates Group underscores Dubai’s dedication to accelerating digital transformation and reinforcing its global standing in sustainable aviation. By joining forces with them, Moro Hub is set to drive sustainable economic growth and ensure a future powered by innovation and sustainability, thus cementing Dubai’s leadership on the world stage.”
As part of this transition, the Emirates Group will shift to using clean energy, which is expected to power the data centre with 3,000 megawatts of energy annually. The partnership agreement was signed in the presence of HE Saeed Mohammed Al Tayer, Michael Doersam, Chief Financial & Group Services Officer of the Emirates Group, and Eng. Marwan Bin Haidar, Vice Chairman & Group CEO of Digital DEWA.
Michael Doersam commented on the strategic importance of the partnership, stating, “Our partnership with Moro Hub is a major step for our technology landscape as we gear up for our next era of growth and expansion. Both organisations share a common vision to position Dubai as a global leader in technology, innovation and sustainability. By transitioning our digital operations to Moro Hub, we are building operational resilience, scalability and, above all, reducing our environmental footprint. Adopting clean energy solutions underscores our commitment to a greener, tech-driven future.”
This collaboration further strengthens Dubai’s position as a global leader in both technology and sustainability, marking a significant step towards achieving the UAE’s long-term environmental goals.
