Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (DEWA) is committed to providing sustainable and safe energy for all. We support the Dubai Clean Energy Strategy 2050, launched by His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, to make Dubai a global hub for clean energy and a green economy. This is by providing 75% of Dubai’s total power capacity from clean energy sources by 2050 to make Dubai, the city with the lowest carbon footprint in the world. DEWA launches projects and initiatives that protect the environment and natural resources for current and future generations. It also supports sustainable development in Dubai. On World Energy Day, we renew our commitment to ensure the right balance between development and protecting the environment. We will continue our leading role in reducing emissions and mitigating the effects of climate change. This is through increasing the use of clean and renewable energy and launching several conservation programmes, for the common good of all. On this occasion, we encourage the public to follow a responsible and sustainable lifestyle. We encourage them to use our smart services for better savings, and easily monitor consumption for smarter decisions and happier lives,” said HE Saeed Mohammed Al Tayer, MD & CEO of DEWA.
