The top management of Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (Dewa), headed by Saeed Mohammed Al Tayer, the managing director and CEO, organised a major workshop to launch the updated Dewa 2021 strategy.

The workshop, which was held at the St Regis hotel in Al Habtoor City, was attended by Dewa’s executive vice presidents, vice presidents, and the management team. It underlines Dewa’s commitment to keep up with all the latest developments.

Addressing the gathering, Al Tayer emphasised the key role of Dewa 2021 to achieve the goals of the UAE Vision 2021 and the Dubai Plan 2021.

"For us at Dewa, strategic planning is a key component of a comprehensive system of integrated organisational work," he stated.

"This puts excellence, innovation, and good governance at the forefront of our strategic priorities and ensures the integration and sustainability of all our projects and services, while enhancing its global competitiveness," he added.

Al Tayer said it supports the integrated energy strategy for 2030, which was launched by the Dubai Supreme Council of Energy, besides the integrated gas strategy, the demand-side management strategy, the carbon abatement strategy, and the Dubai green mobility initiative.

"Dewa 2021 adapts to other inputs, such as the expected growth in demand, major projects under way in the emirate, and the strategies and initiatives of other local and federal government organisations," he explained.

According to him, this supports the vision of the wise leadership to develop a green and sustainable economy in Dubai and the UAE.

"We do this according to a vision that is based on innovation, as a well-established approach to achieving common goals and improving overall performance," he added.-TradeArabia News Service
