Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (DEWA), is urging consumers to limit their use of electrical appliances during peak-load hours from 12 noon to 18:00 every day during the summer months.
The appeal comes as part of DEWA’s annual campaign dubbed, “Let’s Make this Summer Green”, which aims to boost awareness about importance of adopting sustainable practices and rational consumption to preserve natural resources and reduce Dubai’s carbon footprint. The campaign incorporates tips to reduce energy use during the summer, when energy demand is higher, specially during peak-load hours, which results in
increased energy production and use of more fuel. “DEWA attaches great importance to rational use of energy in its efforts to achieve Dubai Clean Energy Strategy 2050, which was launched by Vice President, Prime Minister and Ruler of Dubai, HH Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, to establish a sustainable model of energy conservation that can be exported to world,” said Saeed Mohammed Al Tayer, Managing Director and CEO of DEWA.
