MESSAGE FROM MD & CEO

Unprecedented achievements and numbers that
reinforce our position
In line with the vision of HH Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice
President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, and our vision of
becoming a sustainable innovative world-class utility, Dubai Electricity and
Water Authority (DEWA) has become a role model for performance, efficiency,
productivity, and excellence in providing electricity and water services according to
the highest standards of efficiency, reliability and availability, surpassing the highest
international standards.
DEWA contributes to Dubais success by delivering excellent electricity and water
services that strengthen the Emirates competiveness. This has been clearly shown
by its list of international achievements in efficiency and reliability. DEWAs current
installed capacity is 9,656 megawatts (MW) of electricity and 470 million imperial
gallons per day (MIGD) of desalinated water.
The Dubai Clean Energy Strategy 2050, launched by HH Sheikh Mohammed bin
Rashid Al Maktoum, aims to provide 7% of Dubais energy from clean sources by 2020,
25% by 2030 and 75% by 2050. One of DEWAs initiatives is the Mohammed bin Rashid
Al Maktoum Solar Park, the largest single-site solar energy project in the world. The
solar park will produce 1,000 MW by 2020 and 5,000MW by 2030.
DEWA has surpassed major European and American companies in different areas.
For example, losses in power transmission and distribution networks were reduced
to 3.3%, compared to 6-7% in Europe and the USA. Water network losses decreased
to 8.2%, compared to 15% in North America. DEWAs achievements have put it at the
forefront of water-loss reduction, internationally.
DEWAs results are among some of the best in the world for customer minutes lost
per year. DEWAs figures reached 3.87 minutes, compared to 15 minutes recorded by
leading utilities in the European Union.
I cannot list all our achievements here, but this statistics booklet covers all our
achievements nonetheless.
