The decision was made during the general assembly meeting held today, which saw a 92.2% shareholder attendance and the election of a new Board of Directors for the next three years.
Chaired by Matar Humaid Al Tayer, Chairman of DEWA’s Board of Directors, the meeting underscored Dubai’s continued economic growth and sustainability efforts.
"Dubai continues to consolidate its position as a global leader in economic growth, sustainability, and innovation. DEWA remains a key pillar of this success, ensuring that energy and water infrastructure meets the emirate’s rapid expansion,"
Al Tayer stated.
Saeed Mohammed Al Tayer, MD & CEO of DEWA, highlighted the company’s robust financial performance in 2024, reporting a consolidated annual revenue of AED30.98 billion, EBITDA of AED15.73 billion, and a net profit of AED7.23 billion.
