Between 20th-23rd October, DEWA is conducting the World Energy Day awareness campaign at its pavilion at Expo 2020 Dubai, at the Sustainability Pavilion, to introduce visitors to its prominent projects and pioneering innovative initiatives that support the pillars of World Energy Day.

“The UAE is one of the first countries in the region to prioritise environmental protection for climate change, by adopting green policies and pioneering initiatives in this vital sector, such as the World Energy Day initiative, to raise awareness on conservation and sustainability, cooperation between organisations and society to curb environmentally harmful practices, rationalise energy consumption and minimise carbon emissions, to ensure a brighter future for generations to come,” said Saeed Mohammed Al Tayer, MD and CEO of DEWA.

“In line with the vision of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, to enhance the shift towards a green economy, we continue to move forward with the Dubai Clean Energy Strategy 2050; and the Demand Side Management Strategy 2030 to reduce 30 percent of electricity and water demand by 2030. This contributes to making Dubai a globally leading hub in demand-side management,” added Al Tayer.
