Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (DEWA) has invited media professionals attending the 2025 edition of the Arab Media Summit to explore its pioneering projects and initiatives in sustainability, clean and renewable energy, and innovation. These efforts reinforce Dubai's position as a global hub for innovation and sustainability and support the objectives of the Dubai Clean Energy Strategy 2050 and the Dubai Net Zero Carbon Emissions Strategy 2050.

DEWA is the Strategic Sustainability Partner of the Arab Media Summit, which will take place from 26 to 28 May 2025 at the Dubai World Trade Centre. The summit will bring together leading media professionals from major Arab and international media organisations.

On the second day of the summit, DEWA’s representatives will participate in a panel discussion titled “Using Future Technologies to Promote Sustainability”. The session will delve into several key topics, including the use of artificial intelligence and advanced technologies to enhance operational efficiency and drive digital transformation. It will also highlight the role of these technologies in achieving DEWA's net-zero target by 2050.

DEWA’s stand at AMS will showcase a model of Al Shera’a, the corporation’s new headquarters in Al Jaddaf. Set to become the tallest, largest and smartest net-positive government building in the world, Al Shera’a is designed to receive a Platinum rating under the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) system and a Gold rating under the WELL Building Standard. The building features an advanced technological ecosystem incorporating the Internet of Things (IoT), Big Data analytics and AI, alongside cutting-edge renewable energy solutions that ensure exceptional efficiency. Al Shera’a will be directly linked to Al Jaddaf metro station via a dedicated bridge, encouraging public transport use, easing traffic congestion and reducing carbon emissions.

Photovoltaic solar panels will cover more than 20,000 square metres. The building will feature more than 1,000 square metres of building-integrated photovoltaic panels in the façade. The total production capacity of all solar panels in the building will exceed five megawatts. Robots will be used to clean the photovoltaic solar panels.
