Our consolidated annual revenue grew by 6.17 percent, primarily driven by rising demand for electricity, water, and cooling services.”

“DEWA’s network now serves over 1.27 million customer accounts, and we take pride in achieving the world’s lowest electricity line losses at 2 percent; the world’s lowest water network losses at 4.5 percent; the world’s lowest Customer Minutes Lost (CML) of less than one minute per year—setting a global benchmark for reliability,” noted Al Tayer.

“I am optimistic about our outlook for 2025, driven by the continued growth in tourism, residential, commercial and industrial demand; the expanding active daytime population in Dubai; and opportunities for business expansion and infrastructure development,” added Al Tayer.
