The World Future Energy Summit, or WFES, is a massive annual conference in Abu Dhabi highlighting cleantech in the Middle East and internationally. The event is as high profile as any, with an estimated 30,000 attendees in 2013 and speakers like Wen Jiabao and Ban Ki-moon in 2012 and Francois Holland in 2013.
It seems that many things in the United Arab Emirates are world’s biggest, largest, or first. The UAE is home to the world’s tallest building and the world’s fifth highest carbon dioxide emissions per capita. However, under the patronage of Masdar, Abu Dhabi will be home to the world’s largest single-unit concentrating solar power plant when the Shams-1 facility is complete in the first quarter of 2013.
