DEWA's dividend policy means the company expects to pay a minimum annual dividend of AED6.2 billion in the first five years starting October 2022. The dividends are paid semi-annually in April and October.
On October 31, 2024, DEWA distributed AED3.1 billion as dividend for H1, 2024 to its shareholders, based on a record date of October 18 2024.
The upcoming dividend of AED3.1 billion for H2, 2024 is expected to be distributed in April, subject to approval by DEWA's shareholders at the annual general assembly. The issuance of invitations to DEWA's upcoming annual general assembly is subject to approval by the Securities and Commodities Authority of the UAE, according to a company statement issued today.
MD & CEO of DEWA Saeed Mohammed Al Tayer said: "The 2050 Net Zero target envisioned by our wise leadership is the driver of DEWA's long term strategy. For 2024, our record revenue of around AED31 billion and EBITDA of AED16 billion, are a result of enforcing sustainability and excellence in all our plans and activities. Today, approximately 17.8 per cent of our installed generation capacity is clean, and we are determined to remain above the curve during DEWA's energy transition journey. Our network serves over 1.27 million customer accounts and has been acknowledged world-over for achieving the lowest line losses in electricity (two per cent), water (4.5 per cent), and the lowest Customer Minutes Lost of less than one minute per year.
The company said its consolidated annual revenue increased by 6.18 per cent to AED30.98 billion in 2024 primarily driven by rising demand for electricity, water and cooling services. On a like-for-like basis, DEWA Group delivered an annual profit before tax increase of 1.81 per cent to AED7.98 billion.
DEWA remains focused on its core strategic objective of delivering sustainable growth, staying at the forefront of smart and innovative operational excellence and optimising returns for all its stakeholders while minimising its environmental footprint, added the statement.

DEWA adds 800MW to clean energy capacity in 2025 through solar park

The Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (DEWA) has added 800 megawatts (MW) of new clean energy capacity in 2025 through the sixth phase of the Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Solar Park, the DFM-listed utility announced on Monday. The solar park's total production capacity has now reached 3,860MW, utilising both photovoltaic (PV) solar panels and concentrated solar power (CSP) technologies, the utility said in a press statement. Clean energy now constitutes around 21.5 percent of DEWA's total energy production capacity, the statement added. DEWA has invited international developers to participate in the implementation of the seventh phase of the Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Solar Park, which will have a capacity of 1,600MW. This phase, which is expandable to 2,000MW, will utilise PV solar panels and a battery energy storage system with a capacity of 1,000MW for six hours, providing a total storage capacity of 6,000 megawatt-hours (MWh), making it one of the world's largest solar-plus-storage projects.

DEWA adds 800MW of clean energy production capacity to its energy mix in 2025

Saeed Mohammed Al Tayer, MD & CEO of Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (DEWA), announced that the total production capacity of the Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum Solar Park has increased to 3,860 megawatts (MW), using photovoltaic (PV) solar panels and concentrated solar power (CSP) technologies. Since the beginning of this year, DEWA has added 800MW from the sixth phase of the solar park, bringing clean energy's share to approximately 21.5% of its total production capacity. 'Our strategies and action plans are inspired by the vision and directives of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President, Prime Minister, and Ruler of Dubai, to accelerate the transition towards a sustainable green economy and enhance Dubai's position as a leading global hub for clean and renewable energy. The Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum Solar Park is our key project to realise this vision and achieve the Dubai Clean Energy Strategy 2050 and the Dubai Net Zero Carbon Emissions Strategy 2050, which aim to provide 100% of the emirate's energy production capacity from clean sources by 2050. By 2030, the solar park's production capacity will reach 7,260MW, with clean energy making up 34% of DEWA's energy mix. This will reduce approximately eight million tonnes of carbon emissions annually,' said Al Tayer. The first phase of the Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum Solar Park, with a capacity of 13MW using PV solar panels, was commissioned in October 2013. In March 2017, the second phase, with a capacity of 200MW, was inaugurated. It also uses PV technology and was the first solar energy project of its kind in the region based on the independent power producer (IPP) model. In November 2020, the third phase of the solar park was inaugurated with a capacity of 800MW. This phase, also using PV technology, was the first in the Middle East and North Africa to use single-axis solar tracking to enhance energy generation. In December 2023, the fourth phase of the solar park was inaugurated with a total capacity of 950MW, combining CSP and PV panels. It uses three hybrid technologies to produce clean energy: 600MW from a parabolic basin complex, 100MW from a solar power tower and 250MW from PV solar panels. In June 2023, the fifth phase, with a capacity of 900MW, was inaugurated using photovoltaic panels. DEWA is currently working to complete the sixth phase of the solar park, with a capacity of 1,800MW using PV panels. DEWA has invited international developers to participate in the implementation of the seventh phase of the Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum Solar Park, which will have a capacity of 1,600MW. This phase, which is expandable to 2,000MW, will utilise PV solar panels and a battery energy storage system with a capacity of 1,000MW for six hours, providing a total storage capacity of 6,000 megawatt-hours. This will make it one of the world's largest solar-plus-storage projects. The phase will be implemented under the IPP model. WAM

DEWA Expands Mohammed bin Rashid Solar Park Capacity to 3,860MW

Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (DEWA) has ramped up the total production capacity of the Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Solar Park to 3,860 megawatts (MW), marking a major step forward in the emirate's clean energy transition. Announced by Saeed Mohammed Al Tayer, MD & CEO of DEWA, the increase includes 800MW added this year from the park's sixth phase. Clean energy now accounts for roughly 21.5% of DEWA's total production capacity. Al Tayer said the expansion supports Dubai's long-term strategies to reach net-zero carbon emissions by 2050. 'The Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Solar Park is our key project to realise this vision and achieve the Dubai Clean Energy Strategy 2050 and the Dubai Net Zero Carbon Emissions Strategy 2050,' he stated. Launched in 2013 with a modest 13MW capacity, the solar park has grown through multiple phases using photovoltaic (PV) and concentrated solar power (CSP) technologies. Notably, the fourth phase introduced hybrid solar systems, while the fifth and sixth phases continued expanding PV output. DEWA plans to raise the park's capacity to 7,260MW by 2030, which would supply 34% of the utility's total energy mix from clean sources. This transition is expected to cut carbon emissions by around eight million tonnes annually. Looking ahead, DEWA has invited global developers to participate in the seventh phase of the solar park. Set to feature a 1,600MW PV system and a 1,000MW battery storage system, the project will be one of the world's largest solar-plus-storage initiatives. The solar park is implemented under the Independent Power Producer (IPP) model, reinforcing Dubai's position as a regional leader in renewable energy innovation. News Source: Emirates News Agency
