Energy Efficiency and Motor Upgrades Offer Fast Route to Gulf Net Zero
Energy efficiency retrofits in industrial motor systems represent the fastest and most economical route for the Gulf to achieve net-zero targets, according to ABB Middle East and Africa. Electric motors consume roughly 60 percent of industrial electricity in the region, yet only about a quarter are paired with variable speed drives. Upgrading existing operational equipment offers a rapid alternative to building new generation capacity as UAE power demand climbs toward 2040.
