DEWA’s Jebel Ali Power Plant and Water Desalination Complex enters Guinness World Records for the second time
In line with the vision and directives of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President, Prime Minister and Ruler of Dubai,
Saeed Mohammed Al Tayer, MD & CEO of DEWA said "we are working to provide state-of-art and integrated infrastructure for electricity and water to provide our services according to the highest standards of availability, reliability, efficiency, and quality. "
He added "We also work to achieve the various ambitious development plans to keep pace with the growing demand for electricity and water services and Dubai’s ambitious urban and economic plans. We carry on the journey of excellence in all fields and at all levels and move steadily towards preparing for the next fifty years and building a sustainable future. This supports the UAE Centennial 2071 objectives to make the UAE the world’s leading nation by its centennial in 2071,”
DEWA adopts three pillars to sustain water production by using clean solar energy to desalinate seawater using reverse osmosis technology, which consumes less energy than MSF plants and Aquifier Storage and Recovery (ASR) project through which, excess desalinated water production is stored in underground basins, retrieved and pumped back into the water network as needed.
This innovative holistic model preserves the environment and represents a sustainable economic solution. It also underlines Dubai’s ability to anticipate and shape the future. When completed by 2025, this project will allow 6,000 million imperial gallons of water to be stored and retrieved when needed, making it the largest emergency potable water storage in the world. This technology will provide a strategic reserve that will supply the Emirate with more than 50 million imperial gallons of water per day for 90 days in emergencies, while ensuring the safety of the stored water.
Not a surprise that DEWA’s Jebel Ali Power Plant and Water Desalination Complex enters Guinness World Records for the second time
