Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (Dewa), announced that it would install 270,000 new smart meters across Dubai under Phase 3 of its “Smart Applications via Smart Grid and Meters” initiative, which was launched to support the Smart Dubai initiative.
The project will develop smart infrastructure for electricity transmission and distribution networks and enhance the speed of service delivery and response.
This will ensure quick reconnection in case of unplanned service interruption, while rationalising smart energy consumption by monitoring consumption details simultaneously, using smart meters. Smart grids provide advanced features, including automatic decision-making capabilities and interoperability across the power grid.
Honeywell, a leading global technology and manufacturing company, has been selected by Dubai Electricity and Water Authority to supply and install new smart electricity meters.
This announcement was made on the first day of the three-day 20th Water, Energy, Technology and Environment Exhibition, WETEX 2018, organised by DEWA on the theme ‘At the forefront of sustainability’.
