The Emirates Group, a well-known Middle Eastern aviation and travel conglomerate, has joined forces with Moro Hub, a subsidiary of Digital DEWA, for co-location services at the Mohammad Bin Rashid Al Maktoum Solar Park. With this move, the Emirates Group will switch to clean energy to the tune of 3,000 megawatts annually, which is required to power the data centre.
The agreement was signed in the presence of HE Saeed Mohammed Al Tayer (MD & CEO, Dubai Electricity and Water Authority – DEWA), by Michael Doersam (Chief Financial & Group Services Officer, Emirates Group) and Eng. Marwan Bin Haidar (Vice Chairman & Group CEO of Digital DEWA).
HE Saeed Mohammed Al Tayer said, “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.”
Michael Doersam said, “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.”
Moro Hub is the world’s largest solar-powered data centre, as certified by the Guinness World Records. In a press release Emirates revealed that it expects to start relocating its data centre from mid-2026 to Moro Hub, who will provide comprehensive co-location services, including rack space, power, cooling, equipment supply, and other associated services.
