A
Glimpse
Through
the
Years
The
Dubai
Electricity
and
Water
Authority
(DEWA)
was
formed
on
1
January,
1992,
by
a
decree
issued
by
His
Highness
Shaikh
Maktoum
bin
Rashid
Al
Maktoum
to
take
over
and
merge
the
Dubai
Electric
Company
and
the
Dubai
Water
Department
that
had
been
operating
independently
for
several
years
until
then.
Both
these
organizations
were
established
in
1959
through
the
foresight
and
initiative
of
His
Highness
Shaikh
Rashid
bin
Saeed
Al
Maktoum,
the
late
Ruler
of
Dubai,
as
government
supported
bodies
with
the
objective
of
making
available
to
the
people
of
Dubai
an
adequate
and
reliable
supply
of
electricity
and
water.
Dubai
Electricity
Company
In
the
year
1959,
His
Highness
Shaikh
Rashid
bin
Saeed
Al
Maktoum
issued
a
decree
to
establish
the
Dubai
Electricity
Company
(DEC)
with
the
objective
of
generating
electricity
and
transmitting
and
distributing
it
to
consumers
in
Dubai.
The
Company
set
up
its
first
office
in
a
rented
house
near
Al
Nasr
Square,
Deira,
and
soon
after
started
to
supply
electricity
to
its
first
consumer.
Thus
started
the
operations
of
a
dynamic
organization
that
was
to
play
a
pivotal
role
in
spurring
the
growth
and
development
of
Dubai,
ushering
in
a
bright
era
for
its
people.
