Dubai: Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (Dewa) is participating in GITEX Technology Week 2014.
Dewa will participate in the Dubai Smart Government’s stand at GITEX, which will be held from October 12 to 16, at Dubai World Trade Centre.
“Dewa announced it has transformed all of its services into smart services less than a year after the launch of the Smart Dubai initiative. We have launched many services and features through our smart app which complements the technological development Dewa has been achieving steadily since 2010 based on a clear understanding of customer needs for a sustainable future for generations to come,” said Saeed Mohammad Al Tayer, Managing director and Chief Executive Officer of Dewa.
Solar panels
Among the initiatives it will showcase at GITEX, Dewa will highlight its three initiatives that support the Smart Dubai initiative to transform Dubai into the smartest city in the world. The first initiative is to encourage households and building owners to install photovoltaic solar panels to generate electricity, which can be consumed within the premises with the surplus to be exported to Dewa’s grid.
The second initiative is deploying smart meters and applications that enable the customers to directly monitor their actual electricity and water consumption through their smart device or PC. The third initiative includes establishing the infrastructure for electric-vehicle charging stations.
