(MENAFN) The Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (Dewa) has earmarked a budget of $1.75 billion for the completion of its ongoing projects and the commencement of new ones, Gulf News reported.
Dewa’s Chief Executive, Saeed Al-Tayer, said that the utility’s funds are part of its strategy to improve the productivity of its network and plants.
