“DEWA’s investment in the latest systems and innovative solutions in the water sector has contributed to reducing water losses from 7.06 per cent at the beginning of 2018 to 4.6 per cent at the end of 2023. This resulted in saving 12.5 billion gallons of water, equivalent to AED 451.3 million. We attach special importance to smart meters, which are the backbone of the smart grid,” said Al Tayer.
DEWA’s Smart Metres Analysis and Diagnosis Centre monitors the smart meters remotely every 15 minutes.
