This, however, will not materialise unless the different facets of our society adopt energy conservation principles in their core values. The future generations will be the chief beneficiary of our achievements and the best judge of what we accomplish in this field."WETEX 2015His Highness Sheikh Hamdan bin Rashid Al Maktoum Deputy Ruler of Dubai, Finance Minister of the UAE, President of DEWA and Patron of WETEXWATER, ENERGY, TECHNOLOGY AND ENVIRONMENT EXHIBITIONThe Water, Energy, Technology and Environment Exhibition (WETEX) has continuously witnessed over the last years an increase in both the number of its participants and its size. This impressive growth was supported by the participation of new entrants from the fossil fuels, renewable energy, solar energy and nuclear energy industries. This growth reflects how much the market in the Arabian Gulf, particularly the United Arab Emirates, captures the world’s attention. DEWA has made significant developments in its utilities and excellent services, which has brought it to the forefront of the world’s best utilities. Every year, WETEX has made continuous developments to become internationally-recognised as one of the most prominent achievements of Dubai’s economy, and the global exhibition sector. DEWA’s relentless efforts to protect the environment clearly shows in its focus on green technology, renewable energy projects and implementing the best global practices in this field, to boost Dubai’s green economy and sustainability.MESSAGE FROM THE PATRONWETEX 2015His Excellency Saeed Mohammed Al Tayer MD & CEO of DEWA and Founder and Chairman of WETEXWATER, ENERGY, TECHNOLOGY AND ENVIRONMENT EXHIBITION Under the directives of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, who has launched the initiative to build a green economy in the UAE under the theme ‘Green Economy for Sustainable Development,’ DEWA is working to realise the vision of His Highness to build a sustainable future for the Emirate of Dubai. To achieve this, everyone at DEWA, from top leadership to its frontline staff, aim to make DEWA become a sustainable world-class utility and are actively working to achieve this on many different levels. We are implementing a range of initiatives to acquire global best practices in the field of renewable energy and environmentally-friendly technologies as part of our overall strategy to develop a sustainable future for the Emirate of Dubai, for generations to come. The 16th Water, Energy, Technology and Environment Exhibition (WETEX) 2014 hosted 1,500 exhibitors from 42 countries and approximately 20,000 visitors. The largest regional event of its kind, it aims to attract over 1,500 exhibitors from over 42 countries in 2015. The 17th WETEX 2015 supports this strategy, and its theme is ‘Enabling Sustainable Smart Solutions.’ WETEX is focused on various sectors and segments with a wide variety of displays, seminars and technologies with insights from international experts from around the world.WETEX features a range of green initiatives, which DEWA and other organisations are committed to, such as SmarTech Shopper, the first exhibition for consumers and Green Week, to spread the message on sustainability. In support of the UAE strategy for green development, which focuses on the promotion and development of green technologies, SmarTech offers a great opportunity to demonstrate Dubai’s commitment to reducing waste and protecting our environment from pollution. Perhaps our most significant milestone to date has been the announcement by DEWA, under the umbrella of the Dubai Supreme Council of Energy, of the Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Solar Park. This Park will feature a range of solar energy technologies, including photovoltaic and concentrated solar power systems, which will provide up to 1,000 MW of renewable energy for the Emirate of Dubai. DEWA has many initiatives, among them is its Sustainable Building, which is based on a modern Buildings Management System which manages air conditioning, cooling and ventilation units to save electricity consumption. The building adopts conservation criteria for electricity and water, and uses solar energy to supply electricity. The new building has achieved a huge success as the largest government sustainable building to win the Platinum Award for Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) achieving 98 points out of 110 as per US Green Building Council's evaluation. This new green achievement fits in perfectly with DEWA’s strategy to reduce energy consumption by conserving our natural resources and finding energy-efficient renewable solutions. We want to reduce energy consumption as part of our efforts to protect the environment to achieve our long-term goal of sustainable development in Dubai. You also can be a part of this journey to realise a sustainable future for the UAE and the world by drawing insights and inspirations from the many experts and organisations at WETEX 2015. You have the means to make sustainability a significant part of your daily professional and personal lives and also be counted amongst the many who are already working to create a brighter future for us all.NOTE FROM MD & CEO OF DEWA & FOUNDER & CHAIRMAN OF WETEXWETEX 2015UAE GOVERNMENT VISION AND STRATEGY 2021WETEX 2015WATER, ENERGY, TECHNOLOGY AND ENVIRONMENT EXHIBITIONThe UAE aspires to be among the best countries in the world by 2021.

It will take place in Halls 1 to 8 and Zabeel Hall.WHO IS ORGANISING IT? WETEX is organised Dubai Electricity and Water Authority as a member of the Dubai Supreme Council of Energy, in line with Dubai’s vision to build a sustainable future for the Emirate. Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (DEWA) was formed on 1 January, 1992, by a decree issued by His Highness Sheikh Maktoum bin Rashid Al Maktoum to take over and merge the Dubai Electric Com-pany and the Dubai Water Department that had been operating independently for several years un-til then. Both these organisations were established in 1959 through the foresight and initiative of His Highness Sheikh Rashid bin Saeed Al Maktoum, the late Ruler of Dubai, as government supported bod-ies with the objective of making available to the people of Dubai an adequate and reliable supply of electricity and water.Today, after five decades, DEWA is an inspiring success story known for its efficiency and reliability in every facet of its operations. Constant planning and forecasting to meet the growing demands of the customer has always been DEWA’s well entrenched philosophy. Owing to this policy, DEWA has come a long way in serving the customers and thereby making its own contributions to the economic growth of Dubai.Today DEWA employs a workforce of about 9,000 employees who constantly endeavour to see that both the quantity and quality of services provided are of the highest standards in consistency and reliability.DEWA’s expansion continues to meet the ever growing demand for electricity and water and continues to maintain its corporate structure and functioning in the most professional and advanced ways to ensure its continued success in the years to come.WATER, ENERGY, TECHNOLOGY AND ENVIRONMENT EXHIBITIONWETEX 2015WETEX 2015SHOWCASE UPCOMING INVESTMENT AND GROWTH IN MENA REGION.“Dubai Expo 2020 will breathe new life into the ancient role of the Middle East as a melting pot for cultures and creativity,” tweeted His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai echoing the Dubai Expo 2020 theme of “Connecting Minds, Creating the Future.”The event is estimated to generate around USD 23 billion of GDP (25% of Dubai's current GDP) over the next seven years, attract 20 million visitors and generate 300,000 new job opportunities. The Emirate's GDP is expected to rise 2% over the next few years.The UAE’s economy has grown exponentially by nearly 231 times since the union was set up by seven Emirates in 1971 and the growth catapulted the country to emerge as one of the largest Arab economies.Dubai’s real GDP grew to AED169 billion in the first half of 2013 from AED161 billion in the first half of 2012. Electricty demand in the Middle East and North Africa is set to grow at an average annual rate of 7% per year, while it is estimated that as much as USD283 billion (AED 1.039 trillion) will be invested within the region’s power sector between 2014 and 2018. The research on regional investment in electricity generation is from the Kuwait Financial Centre. The GCC states are projected to invest more than USD 300 billion in some 20 energy projects by 2020, which will generate eight Giga Watts (GW) of additional power, according to the Doha-based Gulf Organisation for Industrial Consulting (GOIC). So far, 75 GW of renewable energy projects worth USD 200 billion are already in the pipeline, making the region a global power player in the sector.The surge in investment is attributed to the growing energy consumption in the Middle East, the highest in the world next to Asian countries. In the GCC, power generating capacity will need to rise by an estimated 64,000 megawatts (MW) to 176,500 MW by 2020, which at 2012 unit costs will require investment of USD 40-45 billion.
