HE Saeed Mohammed Al Tayer, MD & CEO of DEWA, indicated that through digital integration and digital channels provided by DEWA, more than 75 million smart transactions have been completed, which contributed to reducing 496,256 tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions. This is equal to planting 379,291 trees over an area equivalent to 549.51 football pitches until mid-June 2022. The smart adoption of DEWA’s services reached 98.99% until the end of the second quarter of 2022. DEWA provides all its services through its website and smart app, for customers to complete their transactions anytime and anywhere, easily and safely. This is in addition to protecting the environment and preserving natural resources.

We are keen to enrich the customer experience through digital services that save their time and effort by using the latest disruptive technologies and Artificial Intelligence tools.
