State-owned utility service provider Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (DEWA) has unveiled its Green Summer competition as part of the ‘Let’s Make This Summer Green’ campaign.
This is the sixth time DEWA has been launching this initiative under the theme ‘create memories that last forever’.
Participants, who are urged to adopt a responsible and sustainable lifestyle in an interactive and entertaining way are required to their DEWA account on the smart app and complete three levels to enter the final draw for valuable prizes.
Winners are expected to be announced by the end of September 2021.
DEWA’s MD & CEO, Mr. Saeed Mohammed Al Tayer shared his remarks highlighting DEWA’s efforts to ensure a brighter future for future generations in a safe and sustainable environment.
The state utility provides multiple tools, smart services and conservation tips to implement Dubai’s strategies for protecting the environment, aligned to the Demand Side Management Strategy, which aims to reduce 30 percent of electricity and water demand by 2030.
“DEWA follows a comprehensive strategy to creatively and effectively include all society members in the conservation of natural resources, as well as promoting healthy competition. We aim to build a sustainable heritage, for not only infrastructure and sustainable services but also sustainable practices to mitigate climate change,” Mr. Al Tayer further added.

“Throughout the year, DEWA launches innovative initiatives with motivational prizes so our customers can reduce consumption. Our programs and initiatives between 2011 and 2020 have achieved cumulative savings within target groups amounting to 2.44 TWh of electricity and 6.7 billion gallons of water, equivalent to saving AED 1.35 billion, and reduction of 1.22 million tons of CO2 emissions.”
The ‘Let’s Make This Summer Green’ campaign is built on DEWA’s ‘Smart Living’ initiative, which allows customers to monitor their consumption independently, simply by logging into their DEWA accounts on the website or smart app.
The service provides a data dashboard to monitor consumption, know more about residential customer tariff slabs, get conservation tips, and develop their conservation plans.
Customers also benefit from the ‘My Sustainable Living’ program to compare their consumption with similar homes or purchase energy and water-saving devices from DEWA Store.
