During the meeting, the Council discussed the items on its agenda related to the energy sector in the Emirate of Sharjah, including plans to develop various areas of energy and water, as well as the strategies and general policies governing this vital sector, which underpins all development projects. The discussions also focused on advancing the sector in line with the highest international standards of sustainability and environmental preservation.

The Council reviewed a number of proposed future projects related to solar energy, energy storage, and the supply of power to data centres across the Emirate, all of which contribute to sustainable development across multiple sectors.
