The Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (DEWA) will spend AED20bn ($5.4bn) on three major expansion projects to cope with demand for services during the World Expo in 2020, Arabian Business reported.
The government corporation said the largest portion of the spending would be on a clean coal plant worth AED13bn with a capacity of 1200 mega watts.
Dewa CEO and managing director Saeed Al Tayer said while Dubai had large reserves of electricity and water, the expansion plan aimed to promote sustainable development.
The projects would increase Dewa’s power generation capacity by 20 percent.
