Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (DEWA)’s total desalinated water production in the third quarter of 2024 grew by 4.64% compared to the same period in 2023, reaching a record 40.5 billion imperial gallons. This is part of DEWA’s efforts to meet the increasing demand for water and to keep pace with Dubai’s unprecedented growth. Peak desalinated water demand reached 455 million imperial gallons per day (MIGD), which is a 4.92% increase over the same period in the previous year.

“DEWA plans to increase its water desalination capacity to 735 MIGD by 2030, from 495 MIGD at present. This is to keep pace with Dubai’s unparalleled economic growth and the Emirate’s thriving construction sector. This complements the Dubai Economic Agenda D33 and the Dubai 2040 Urban Master Plan, addresses the substantial population growth and meets the steadily increasing demand for water in domestic, commercial and other consumer sectors. We invest in innovation and use the latest technologies to promote water resources and enhance our state-of-the-art infrastructure. This guarantees uninterrupted service availability, adhering to the highest international standards of availability, reliability and efficiency,” said HE Saeed Mohammed Al Tayer, MD & CEO of DEWA.
