DEWA emphasises its commitment to providing reliable energy and water services through its advanced infrastructure Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (DEWA) provides a safe and reliable supply of energy and water to ensure comfortable conditions for all residents of Dubai around the clock. This is part of its commitment to prioritising and meeting the water and energy needs of the Emirate of Dubai and supporting Goal 6 of the UN Sustainable Development Goals 2030, which ensures clean water and sanitation for all. This is accomplished through an advanced infrastructure that keeps pace with the increasing demand for energy in Dubai, which was estimated to increase by 6.3% in 2023, compared to 2022. By implementing leading projects and programmes, DEWA’s production capacity has reached 16,270 MW of electricity and 495 million imperial gallons (MIGD) per day of desalinated water. DEWA’s results surpass major European and American utilities in several key performance indicators. In 2023, line losses from electricity transmission and distribution networks were reduced to 2% compared to around 6-7% in Europe and the USA. Water transmission and distribution network losses reached 4.6% compared to about 15% in North America. DEWA also recorded the world’s lowest electricity Customer Minutes Lost (CML) per year in the world with an average of 1.06 minutes in 2023, compared to around 15 minutes recorded by leading utility companies in the European Union..... https://bit.ly/3TO1mjm Dubai Electricity & Water Authority - DEWA LetsTalkCity #Dubai #Utilities #Water #Energy #UAE #GCC #MiddleEast

DEWA’s projects and programmes contribute to enhancing #energy and #water efficiency and reduce the carbon footprint Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (DEWA) has made a significant achievement in improving electricity and water production efficiency, by 41.73% in 2023 compared to 2006. This equates to a cumulative reduction of 92.5 million tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions between 2006 and 2023, equivalent to planting 484 million trees required to absorb this amount of CO2 emissions. DEWA produces electricity and water using co-generation technology. Heat Recovery Steam Generators (HRSG) harness waste heat from gas turbines to generate additional electricity and provide thermal energy for the water desalination process. DEWA also employs an innovative hybrid system for water desalination plants, integrating various technologies such as Multi-Stage Flashing (MSF) and Sea Water Reverse Osmosis (SWRO), ensuring optimal efficiency and minimising costs throughout the plant’s lifecycle..... https://bit.ly/4eLe4Ir Dubai Electricity & Water Authority - DEWA LetsTalkCity #Dubai #Utilities #Efficiency #Sustainability #UAE #GCC #MiddleEast

RTA starts installation of #SolarPanels at Dubai Metro and Tram Depots Dubai’s Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) has started the installation of solar energy panels at the Dubai Metro Depots at Jebel Ali and Al Qusais as well as the Tram Depot at Al Safouh. The project, which is expected to be completed by the first quarter of 2024, is set to produce a total of 9.959 megawatts of solar power. Through this project, RTA is seeking to materialise the Dubai Government's "Shams Dubai" initiative and the Dubai Clean Energy Strategy. It also contributes to the realisation of RTA’s long-term strategy aimed at reaching net-zero emissions by 2050, focusing on three primary sectors: public transportation, buildings and related facilities, and waste management. The Solar PV power systems represent a key element of sustainable renewable energy sources, which supports RTA’s efforts to improve the efficiency of the infrastructure of facilities. Moreover, solar panels save costs, conserve resources, reduce carbon emissions and enhance environmental sustainability.... https://bit.ly/3MWrHrI Roads and Transport Authority Dubai LetsTalkCity #Dubai #RenewableEnergy #UAE #GCC #MiddleEast

Did you know that the building sector in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) consumes more than 65% of total energy for cooling? In the past five years, the UAE has committed to an increasing number of sustainability and net zero goals. Significant progress has been made and businesses are setting strict energy efficiency requirements such as a minimum of 40% reduction in buildings' energy consumption. The private sector has issued several public commitments from large local and international manufacturers, developers, construction companies and finance institutions to demonstrate industry leadership in the #decarbonisation of the region’s infrastructure. In the second installment of our collaborative thought leadership series with AESG, Tamara Bajic, Associate Director — Strategy & Advisory at AESG unpacks how the UAE’s private sector is working towards creating a #sustainable #builtenvironment in the region.
