Civic body Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (DEWA) believes in eco-friendly behaviour. It backs to the hilt saving energy and water as much as possible and frequently raises awareness among the people through its initiatives. The idea is to protect natural resources and cut down on carbon footprint.

Saeed Mohammed Al Tayer, MD & CEO of DEWA, has praised DEWA’s commitment to achieving a balance between development and environment to protect the rights of the future generations in living in a clean, healthy, and safe environment, according to WAM.

As its head Saeed Mohammed Al Tayer said, they are guided by the forward-looking vision of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum to tackle climate challenges.
