DEWA
is formed....
The Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (DEWA)
was formed on 1 January, 1992, by a decree
issued by His Highness Sheikh Maktoum bin Rashid
Al Maktoum to take over and merge the Dubai Electric
Company and the Dubai Water Department that had
been operating independently for several years
until then. Both these organizations were established
in 1959 through the foresight and initiative of
His Highness Sheikh Rashid bin Saeed Al Maktoum,
the late Ruler of Dubai, as government supported
bodies with the objective of making available
to the people of Dubai an adequate and reliable
supply of electricity and water.
and today....
Today, after near about five decades, DEWA is
an inspiring success story known for its efficiency
and reliability in every facet of its operations.
Constant planning and forecasting to meet the
growing demands of the customer has always been
DEWA's well entrenched philosophy. Owing to this
policy, the Authority has come a long way in serving
the customers and thereby making its own contributions
to the economic growth of Dubai.
Today DEWA employs a workforce
of about 6301 employees who constantly endeavour
to see that both the quantity and quality of services
provided are of the highest standards in consistency
and reliability.
Thus the expansion continues
in order to meet the ever growing demand for electricity
and water, and keeping this in mind DEWA continues
to maintain its corporate structure and functioning
in the most professional and advanced ways to
ensure its continued success in the years to come.
