He claimed that "The new center is yet another achievement that raises the UAE’s profile as a leading global player in advancing sustainability and the green economy. [It] provides an exceptional model for combining digital technologies with energy technologies.” He also mentioned how Dubai's Clean Energy and Net Zero Emissions Strategies, by which the nation hopes to produce all of its energy production capacity via clean energy by 2050, are supported by the center's low-carbon infrastructure and 100% reliance on renewable energy to generate its capacity of over 100 megawatts (MW).
