With Dubai witnessing a massive expansion in terms of area, the Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (Dewa) has affirmed that the emirate would not see any scarcity of water and electricity in times to come.
Speaking at the opening of the 10th edition of Water Technologies, Energy and Environment Exhibition (WETEX-2008) on March 11, senior Dewa officials said that Dubai would be having at least 1,000 million gallons of water and 20,000 megawatt of electricity by 2020.
The three-day exhibition is being held at the Dubai Convention Centre, Zabeel Hall.
The officials also stressed that the under construction Al Hassyan Power and Desalination Complex Project would be a landmark that would pave the way for abundance of water and electricity in the emirate.
Earlier, Shaikh Hamdan bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Deputy Ruler of Dubai, Minister of Finance and President of Dewa, inaugurated the exhibition in the presence of senior officials.
Saeed Mohammad Al Tayer, MD and CEO of Dewa stated that Dewa was concentrating more on projects that are environmentally friendly.
“A special stand for green buildings is set at the exhibition to promote this concept that aims at the rationalisation of water and energy consumption by using designs and materials friendly to the environment. Dewa is working hard to ensure that Dubai never faces any power or water shortage in the future. With the increase in the area of the emirate, we are also coming up with new projects,” he said.
Al Tayer valued the participation of ministries, municipalities, government departments and public benefit societies as well as various countries.
“The huge participation is the best way to exchange knowhow. The exhibition will enable us as well as the other companies to know about the latest technologies available in the field,” he commented.
The exhibition accommodates major national and international companies specialising in the exhibition themes. It also forms an excellent venue for pioneer companies to promote their production in the field of water, electricity and environment. Source
