SDME

On June 17, 2015, the Dubai Supreme Council of Energy (DSCE), Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (DEWA), and the U.S. Department of Energy signed an agreement to collaborate on the development of Solar Decathlon Middle East (SDME 2018-2020), a competition that will integrate unique local and regional characteristics.

After the success of the first edition, the Govern of Dubai with DEWA will host the second edition in November 2020, in conjunction with Expo 2020, which is the Official Sustainable Energy Partner of Expo 2020 and it will take place in the Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Solar Park.

The SDME 2018 embraces the goal of developing and promoting ideas, capacities and technologies that can be implemented for the benefit of the inhabitants of the Middle East region. Each project must be a good response to our cultural, climatic and social contexts, as well as a high-performance prototype that should successfully perform during the period of time during which it compares with others. All proposals should be focused on solving the issues and needs for the sustainable living in this region, where high temperatures, high humidity and dust condition our daily lives during most part of the year.
