Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (DEWA) has actually organised a Creativity Lab workshop, with the theme 'Partnership for the Future,' which was attended by strategic partners. This becomes part of DEWA's efforts to improve and support strategic partnerships with the general public and private sectors. The workshop was held at the One & Only Royal Mirage Hotel in Dubai, to strengthen ongoing cooperation with partners to achieve sustainable advancement in the UAE, the UAE Vision 2021, and the Dubai Plan 2021.

The presentation was followed by a group of conceptualizing sessions to talk about DEWA's smart efforts to support the Smart Dubai initiative. The participants showed interest in DEWA's Shams Dubai initiative, which encourages structure owners to set up photovoltaic panels on their roofs to create electricity from solar power. The electricity is used onsite and the surplus is exported to DEWAs network.

The workshop also dealt with DEWA's Green Charger effort, which includes developing charging stations for cars in various locations of Dubai and to improve grid effectiveness. In addition to this, the workshop highlighted the importance of business sustainability, and methods to establish it.

"DEWA is committed to boosting cooperation with all strategic partners, to accomplish the directives of HH Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, which highlights the significance of collaboration in between the general public and private sectors to make major leaps forward in our efforts to attain the UAE Vision 2021, and the Dubai Plan 2021, which forms the roadmap for ambitious efforts and development projects, to provide the very best global services and embrace best practices based upon global standards.
