Dewa launches international arm to pursue global opportunities

The Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (DEWA) has established 'Dewa International' to export its world-class utility expertise and invest in global energy and water projects. This new entity will focus on both conventional and clean energy infrastructure, creating a massive new pipeline for international procurement. Industrial buyers associated with DEWA’s ecosystem now have a gateway to participate in global tenders involving large-scale solar parks and desalination plants.

For procurement specialists, this expansion necessitates a focus on equipment standardization and global logistics. Demand is expected to rise for Siemens and ABB power transformers, high-voltage switchgear, and reverse osmosis membranes. Establishing strategic partnerships with manufacturers who can support global deployments will be a key competitive advantage for service providers linked to this new international arm.
