Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (DEWA) has posted a record-breaking financial performance for the first nine months of 2025, underscoring the success of its strategic initiatives and the robust economic activity in the emirate. The utility’s impressive results are fueled by surging demand for electricity and water, coupled with significant investments in renewable energy and operational efficiency.
Increased Revenue and DEWA Dubai Profit
DEWA’s consolidated revenue for the first nine months of 2025 reached a record AED 24.9 billion, a notable increase from the AED 23.5 billion reported in the same period last year. This growth is a direct reflection of Dubai’s expanding population and thriving economy. In a filing to the Dubai Financial Market, where its shares are traded, the company revealed a net profit of AED 6.8 billion and an operating profit of AED 8.3 billion.
Saeed Al Tayer, DEWA’s managing director and chief executive, commented on the strong performance. “This growth reflects the increase in demand for our services and our ability to maintain our strategic position as a leading provider of sustainable electricity and water services,” said Al Tayer.
Sustained Growth and Operational Excellence
The third quarter of 2025 saw significant operational milestones. Power generation hit 20.5 terawatt-hours (TWh), a 4.46% increase year-on-year, while peak power demand surged to a new record of 11.4 gigawatts (GW). To meet this growing demand, DEWA has expanded its installed generation capacity to nearly 18 GW.

What sets DEWA apart is its world-class operational efficiency. The utility has achieved remarkably low electricity transmission and distribution losses of just 2.2% and an average of only 1.19 customer minutes lost per year. These figures are significantly better than the typical 6-7% losses and 15-minute outage averages seen across Europe and the USA, highlighting a level of grid reliability that is among the best globally.
Strategic Investments in a Sustainable Future
DEWA’s financial strength is enabling massive investments in Dubai’s clean energy transition, aligning with the broader UAE solar energy goal. A cornerstone of this strategy is the Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Solar Park, which is set to expand to 7,260 MW by 2030 through AED 50 billion in investments. Currently, renewable sources account for 3.86 GW, or 21.5% of DEWA’s total capacity, a figure that continues to grow with the latest UAE solar news. To ensure grid stability with this increasing share of renewables, the utility is also deploying 1,000 MW of battery storage.
These large-scale projects create significant opportunities for local manufacturing, driving growth in the region’s solar industry, from sourcing raw materials to deploying advanced production technologies.
Beyond solar, DEWA’s subsidiaries are also contributing to its growth. The Electric Vehicle Green Charger Company is expanding its ultra-fast EV charging network, while its cooling services subsidiary, Empower, continues to report strong revenue and profit growth.
DEWAโs robust Q3 performance is a clear indicator of its successful strategy. By combining financial discipline with a forward-looking focus on operational excellence and sustainable growth, DEWA is not only powering Dubai’s present but is also building a resilient and green energy future for the emirate.
