Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (DEWA) and the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI), a leading US organization in electric power research and development, have explored avenues to enhance cooperation in renewable energy training, network modernization, and energy storage solutions.
The discussions took place during a visit by an EPRI delegation led by its President and CEO, Arshad Mansoor, to DEWA’s headquarters. The delegation was received by Saeed Mohammed Al Tayer, MD and CEO of DEWA, along with senior DEWA officials, including Waleed bin Salman, Executive Vice President of Business Development and Excellence, and Ghanem Al Qassim, Senior Manager – Solar Power.
The meeting focused on strengthening strategic collaboration in research and development (R&D), sustainability, and innovation in the energy sector. Al Tayer highlighted DEWA’s commitment to working with leading research and innovation centers globally to develop national expertise, drive climate action, and accelerate the energy transition and digital transformation.
This initiative aligns with DEWA’s vision of promoting sustainability and supporting the Dubai Clean Energy Strategy 2050 and the Dubai Net Zero Carbon Emissions Strategy 2050, which aim to generate 100% of Dubai’s energy from clean sources by 2050.
The partnership between DEWA and EPRI includes specialized programs and training in smart grids, energy efficiency, asset management analysis, cybersecurity, and photovoltaic system integration. These initiatives aim to equip DEWA employees with the skills to advance sustainability efforts and provide researchers and engineers opportunities to exchange expertise and stay updated on the latest developments in the field.
