DEWA to showcase its efforts to expand charging infrastructure and encourage private sector participation at EV World 2026

Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (DEWA) is participating in the inaugural edition of the Dubai International Electric Vehicle Exhibition and Conference (EV World), organised by the Dubai Roads and Transport Authority (RTA), under the patronage of HH Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Defence of the UAE, and Chairman of the Executive Council of Dubai, under the theme ‘Driving a Smart and Sustainable Mobility Future’. The event will take place from 10 to 12 November 2026 at the Dubai World Trade Centre.

At stand B-09 in Za’abeel Hall 5, DEWA will showcase the latest EV charging technologies and solutions, as well as its efforts to expand the EV Green Charger network, develop charging infrastructure and enhance private-sector participation in Dubai’s EV charging market. DEWA’s stand will also highlight advanced charging technologies, including ultra-fast and fast-charging solutions, which enhance charging efficiency and provide various options for EV users.

“In line with the vision and directives of the wise leadership, we continue to support Dubai’s efforts to consolidate its status as a global leader in smart and sustainable mobility, in line with the Dubai Green Mobility Strategy 2030. Our participation in the inaugural edition of the Dubai International Electric Vehicle Exhibition and Conference 2026 highlights our ongoing efforts to develop advanced and reliable EV charging infrastructure and adopt the latest innovative technologies and solutions that meet customers’ needs, exceed their expectations and encourage the use of eco-friendly transport, thereby reducing carbon emissions and enhancing the quality of life in Dubai,” said HE Saeed Mohammed Al Tayer, MD & CEO of DEWA.

“We continue to develop and expand DEWA’s EV Green Charger network while enabling private-sector participation in the development of EV charging infrastructure. Through the regulatory framework for licensing independent charge point operators (CPOs), we provide a clear regulatory environment that encourages investment and enables qualified companies to establish and operate EV charging stations in accordance with approved technical and regulatory requirements. This expands the availability of charging services and fosters competition and innovation, while providing EV users with safe and reliable charging options. It also helps keep pace with the rapid growth in the number of EVs in the UAE,” added Al Tayer.

DEWA launched the EV Green Charger initiative in 2015. By the end of the third quarter of 2026, the number of EV charging points in Dubai had reached 2,826 points. These include DEWA’s EV Green Chargers and charging stations operated by independent CPOs licensed by DEWA.
