Entities in charge of energy
The UAE's Ministry of Energy and Infrastructure is the federal entity that supervises the achievement of the security of energy supplies, in a sustainable manner. It also works on building up a strong foundation of regulations to govern the energy sector and reduces greenhouse gas emissions.
There are four authorities that deal with water and electricity matters in the UAE. These are:
- Etihad Water & Electricity (for the four Northern Emirates: Ajman, Umm Al Quwain, Ras Al Khaimah and Fujairah)
- Department of Energy for the Abu Dhabi emirate
- Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (DEWA) for the Dubai emirate
- Sharjah Electricity, Water and Gas Authority (SEWGA) for the Sharjah emirate.
