Al Tayer stated that DEWA delivered the strongest financial and operational performance in its history for 2025. The record revenue, EBITDA, and profit were supported by the highest levels of power generation, clean energy production, desalinated water output, and peak demand ever achieved by the Group, while maintaining globally benchmarked efficiency and reliability.
In 2025, DEWA's consolidated revenue rose by 6.02 percent year-on-year, driven by increased demand for electricity, water, and cooling services. The profit after tax grew by 25.66 percent compared to 2024. DEWA generated 62.21 terawatt-hours of electricity, a 5.10 percent increase from the previous year.

During the fourth quarter of 2025, DEWA generated 14.24 terawatt-hours of power, including 2.18 terawatt-hours of clean energy, a 38.35 percent increase compared to the same period in 2024.
Group-wide investments totaled AED11.72 billion in 2025, focusing on renewable energy capacity, desalination plants, and transmission and distribution networks. Installed generation capacity rose by 4.66 percent to 17,979 megawatts, including 3,860 megawatts from clean energy sources. By 2030, DEWA plans to exceed 23 gigawatts of installed power generation capacity, with around 8.3 gigawatts from renewable sources.
