Dubai Electricity and Water

Authority (DEWA) has recorded a growth in the number of smart water meters by 73.6% between

2018 and 2022.

The number of smart meters increased from 566,214 meters in August 2018 to 983,185 meters in August 2022, designed according to the highest technical

standards.

DEWA has a secure and automated infrastructure to

manage meter data. Automating meter readings

help customers receive instant information on their consumption patterns and effectively manage, monitor and control their consumption proactively

anytime, anywhere.

This also allows customers to promptly detect and fix water leakages to reduce waste. This sustains natural resources and preserves the

environment.

CEO of DEWA.
