DEWA Launches International Utility Arm Without Naming First Projects
DEWA launched DEWA International as a wholly owned subsidiary to develop energy and water infrastructure abroad. The Dubai utility cited AED32.8 billion in 2025 revenue and AED9.06 billion in net profit, while first countries, partners, contracts, investment values and capacity targets remain outside the public record.
DEWA International is being created to develop energy and water infrastructure projects outside Dubai, Dubai Electricity and Water Authority said, but the new subsidiary has not yet named its first market, project value or customer.
Dubai Electricity and Water Authority said the wholly owned independent company will develop conventional and clean energy projects, along with water infrastructure projects, through advanced technologies and strategic partnerships.
The authority described the subsidiary as a vehicle for conventional and clean energy, water, sustainability and digital-transformation projects outside Dubai.
DEWA International Will Develop Energy And Water Projects Abroad
H.H. Sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed Al Maktoum announced the launch in his role as chairman of the Dubai Supreme Council of Energy.
He said the subsidiary reflects Dubai's ambition to share its development model with global markets and extend the emirate's expertise in energy, water, sustainability and digital transformation.
The new subsidiary is not limited to clean power.
The utility said it will work on conventional energy, clean energy and water projects, a scope that keeps the company positioned as a broad infrastructure developer rather than a single-sector renewables vehicle.
The announcement also puts partnerships at the centre of the model.
Those partners in the launch statement remain outside the public record.
AED32.8 Billion Revenue Gives DEWA Funding Capacity
Saeed Mohammed Al Tayer, the utility's managing director and chief executive, linked the launch to the utility's operating record and balance-sheet capacity.
He said the authority leads 13 global utility performance indicators, along with two regional benchmarks for generation, transmission, distribution and customer service.
The utility also cited its financial position as part of the expansion case.
The utility reported record revenue of AED32.8 billion in 2025, while net profit after tax reached AED9.06 billion, described by the company as the highest in its history.
The 2025 revenue and net-profit figures sit alongside the international launch as evidence of funding capacity, according to Economy Middle East.
Project Pipeline Has Started Without Named Locations
Al Tayer said the subsidiary has started identifying global investment opportunities, building a project pipeline and establishing strategic partnerships to support international expansion.
The public record still lacks the countries, utilities, developers or public-sector buyers involved in that early pipeline.
The initiative is intended to strengthen Dubai's global presence in sustainable infrastructure and create opportunities for knowledge transfer, investment and long-term growth.
Named first projects, country locations, partner organisations, customer contracts, investment values, construction timetables and capacity targets remain outside the launch statement, according to Economy Middle East.
