Dubai / WAM

Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (DEWA) organised a Creativity Lab workshop, with the theme ‘Partnership for the Future,’ which was attended by strategic partners. This is part of DEWA’s efforts to enhance and support strategic partnerships with the public and private sectors.
The workshop was held to strengthen ongoing cooperation with partners to achieve sustainable development in the UAE, the UAE Vision 2021, and the Dubai Plan 2021.
The workshop was attended by a large number of specialists and stakeholders from different organisations. DEWA presented its corporate strategy and sustainable partnerships. The presentation was followed by a group of brainstorming sessions to discuss DEWA’s smart initiatives to support the Smart Dubai initiative.
The participants showed interest in DEWA’s Shams Dubai initiative, which encourages building owners to install photovoltaic panels on their rooftops to generate electricity from solar power. The electricity is used onsite and the surplus is exported to DEWA’s network.
The workshop also addressed DEWA’s Green Charger initiative, which includes establishing charging stations for vehicles in various areas of Dubai and to enhance grid efficiency. In addition to this, the workshop highlighted the importance of Vice President and Prime Minister and Ruler of Dubai His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, which highlights the importance of collaboration between the public and private sectors to make major leaps forward in our efforts to achieve the UAE Vision 2021, and the Dubai Plan 2021, which forms the roadmap for ambitious initiatives and development projects, to provide the best international services and adopt best practices based on international standards.
Today’s workshop supports our efforts to achieve our vision to become a sustainable innovative world-class utility, and the Smart Dubai initiative, launched by Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, to make Dubai the happiest and smartest city in the world,” said Saeed Mohammed Al Tayer, Managing Director and CEO of DEWA.
“Through the Creativity Lab, we aim to brief our partners about DEWA’s Strategic Plan 2021, and introduce them to the objectives of the next phase.”
