“Our work plans are guided by the directives of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, to achieve the Dubai 10X initiative to support the Government of Dubai’s progress into the future and position it 10 years ahead of other cities through innovation. We attach great importance to innovation and consider it a key pillar of developing our services, initiatives, and work plans. This is in accordance with our vision to become a globally leading sustainable innovative corporation. This enhances DEWA’s competitiveness and the happiness of all its stakeholders. DEWA is one of the key innovative utilities worldwide. Through Digital DEWA, the digital arm of DEWA, DEWA works to disrupt the concept of a utility by becoming the first digital utility worldwide with autonomous systems for renewable energy and storage while expanding its use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and digital services.
