The Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (DEWA) is a government-owned utility responsible for generating, transmitting, and distributing electricity and water across Dubai, United Arab Emirates. Established in 1992 following the merger of Dubai’s electricity and water departments, DEWA plays a central role in supporting the emirate’s infrastructure, economic development and growing population. Its activities include power generation, water desalination, managing electricity and water networks, and developing renewable energy and sustainable utility infrastructure. DEWA also procures electricity and desalinated water through independent power producer (IPP) and independent water producer (IWP) models, partnering with private-sector developers to finance, construct and operate major utility projects. The authority is involved in Dubai’s long-term energy and water security strategy, including initiatives to improve efficiency, expand capacity and increase the use of clean energy.
