The government of the United Arab Emirates (UAE) will sign a memorandum of understanding in the near future with a German company to generate energy through the use of wind. The Director General of the Industry and Economy Authority in Fujairah, Mohammed Obeid Majed, said that the arriving German delegation to the UAE will discuss this relatively low-cost investment project, reported Al-Ittihad . The project is expected to generate 130-200 megawatts of electrical power. Majed did not mention the project’s costs. — (menareport.com)
