About Dubai Electricity and Water Authority
Geographic reach: Dubai and the United Arab Emirates, Gulf and wider Middle East markets, International exhibitor and investor markets
Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (DEWA) is Dubai’s government-owned utility responsible for delivering electricity and water services and supporting the emirate’s sustainability and clean-energy agenda. In the trade-show context, DEWA’s principal platform is the Water, Energy, Technology and Environment Exhibition (WETEX), which it convenes annually at Dubai World Trade Centre.
WETEX is positioned as a major regional and international meeting point for utilities, government bodies, technology providers, engineering firms, investors, researchers and sustainability specialists across water, energy, environment and related infrastructure. DEWA announced the 28th edition for 20–22 October 2026, confirming the event’s established annual cycle and continuity. [https://www.dewa.gov.ae/en/about-us/media-publications/latest-news/2026/1/dewa-to-organise-the-28th-edition-of-wetex] [https://www.dewa.gov.ae/en/about-us/media-publications/latest-news/2026/5/dewa-opens-registration-for-wetex-2026] DEWA’s organizer value proposition is closely tied to its role as a major public utility and Dubai sustainability institution: WETEX gives participating companies access to decision-makers, project stakeholders and prospective partners in the UAE and wider global markets.
The show covers practical commercial and policy themes including electricity generation and networks, renewable energy, solar, water production and treatment, environmental technologies, smart infrastructure, sustainable mobility and climate-related solutions. DEWA also organizes the Dubai Solar Show as a co-located or associated platform within the WETEX ecosystem, expanding the renewable-energy focus. [https://www.dewa.gov.ae/en/about-us/media-publications/latest-news/2023/11/dewa-calls-for-pre-registration-to-attend] The available evidence supports a focused rather than broad multi-event portfolio: DEWA is best described as the institutional organizer of WETEX and its related Dubai Solar Show programming, with international exhibitor participation and a strong Dubai/UAE base.
Registration for WETEX exhibitors is handled through the official event website, while visitor pre-registration provides electronic entry badges. [https://www.dewa.gov.ae/en/about-us/media-publications/latest-news/2026/5/dewa-opens-registration-for-wetex-2026]
