There are no plans at present to increase or change water and electricity prices in the Emirate of Dubai

Al Tayer highlighted the emirate's robust capacity in both energy and water production. Energy production stands at approximately 18,000 megawatts, while water production has seen a significant jump from 470 million gallons to 550 million gallons per day. This substantial surplus ensures that the emirate faces no supply shortages, completely ruling out any possibility of water rationing or phased distribution.

The DEWA chief also emphasized the authority's commitment to ensuring uninterrupted service continuity. He pointed to DEWA's impressive performance indicators in the energy sector, noting that the average energy loss per customer is less than two minutes per year. This achievement reflects the high efficiency of Dubai's utility infrastructure and its reliability for consumers.
