A
Glimpse Through the Years
The
Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (DEWA) was formed
on 1 January, 1992, by a decree issued by His Highness
Shaikh Maktoum bin Rashid Al Maktoum to take over and
merge the Dubai Electric Company and the Dubai Water Department
that had been operating independently for several years
until then. Both these organizations were established
in 1959 through the foresight and initiative of His Highness
Shaikh Rashid bin Saeed Al Maktoum, the late Ruler of
Dubai, as government supported bodies with the objective
of making available to the people of Dubai an adequate
and reliable supply of electricity and water.
Dubai
Electricity Company
In
the year 1959, His Highness Shaikh Rashid bin Saeed Al
Maktoum issued a decree to establish the Dubai Electricity
Company (DEC) with the objective of generating electricity
and transmitting and distributing it to consumers in Dubai.
The Company set up its first office in a rented house
near Al Nasr Square, Deira, and soon after started to
supply electricity to its first consumer. Thus started
the operations of a dynamic organization that was to play
a pivotal role in spurring the growth and development
of Dubai, ushering in a bright era for its people.
Dubai Water Department
In
1959, the same year that the Dubai Electricity Company
was established, His Highness Shaikh Rashid bin Saeed
Al Maktoum, the then Ruler of Dubai, ordered the establishment
of a specialized organization to carry out the project
of supplying Dubai with water. This was a momentous juncture
in the history of the Emirate for, with adequate supply
of water and power, Dubai could now begin to confidently
undertake a prudent program of modernization and establish
itself as a bustling center of trade and business.
...And Today
Today,
after more than three and a half decades, DEWA is an inspiring
success story known for its efficiency and reliability
in every facet of its operations. Constant planning and
forecasting to meet the growing demands of the consumer
has always been DEWA's well entrenched philosophy. Owing
to this policy, the Authority has come a long way in serving
the consumers and thereby making its own contributions
to the economic growth of Dubai.
Today
DEWA employs a workforce of about 4000 employees who constantly
endeavour to see that both the quantity and quality of
services provided are of the highest standards in consistency
and reliability.
Thus
the expansion continues in order to meet the ever growing
demand for electricity and water, and keeping this in
mind DEWA continues to maintain its corporate structure
and functioning in the most professional and advanced
ways to ensure its continued success in the years to come.
