The United Arab Emirates' (UAE) first wind power demonstration project contracted and built by a Chinese company, the Power Construction Corporation of China (PowerChina), went into production in UAE's capital Abu Dhabi on Saturday.

Consisting of four wind farms, the project has a total installed capacity of 117.5 megawatts.

Sultan Al Jaber, president-designate of the 28th session of the Conference of the Parties (COP28) to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, said that the project demonstrates UAE's commitment to expanding clean energy investment.

The COP28 will be held in Dubai from November 30 to December 12 this year.

The UAE previously announced achieving net-zero emissions by 2050.

Last year, the government targeted a 31 percent reduction in greenhouse gas emissions by 2030, which requires an investment of around $163 billion in clean energy and renewables, according to data from the International Monetary Fund.
