Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (DEWA) has established Dewa International, a subsidiary aimed at developing conventional and clean energy and water projects worldwide, and exporting Dubai’s utility model to global markets.

The launch was announced on June 21 at Al Shera’a headquarters in the presence of senior officials, including Sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed Al Maktoum and Saeed Al Tayer.

Al Maktoum said: “Through its world-class infrastructure, particularly in the energy and water sectors, Dubai has firmly established itself as a leading international benchmark. Launching Dewa International marks a strategic step towards extending this successful model to global markets and further strengthening Dubai’s position as a source of knowledge and expertise in energy, water, sustainability and digital transformation.”

He added: “I congratulate DEWA on this significant milestone and look forward to its continued success in reinforcing Dubai’s global standing and advancing its role in shaping a more sustainable future for generations to come.”

Al Tayer said: “Today, we are taking these superior capabilities to the global stage, sharing them with leaders, partners and investors who believe, as we do, that the future is built on clear vision and well-organised execution.”

He also noted: “We moved early into solar energy through our global flagship, the Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Solar Park, the largest single-site solar park in the world, which holds four Guinness World Records and is positioned as a global benchmark for utility-scale renewable deployment.”
