Dubai Electricity and Water Authority’s (Dewa) electric vehicle (EV) green charger stations at Expo 2020 Dubai have provided 87,772 kilowatt-hours of electricity for the electric vehicles of visitors to the exhibition during its first three months, with 3,681 charging transactions.
This helped visitors travel approximately 415,000 kilometres in eco-friendly vehicles.
Dewa provides Expo 2020 visitors with 19 charging stations, with five stations each at Opportunity, Sustainability, and Mobility Pavilions, two stations at the Expo 2020 office, and two stations at Enoc’s service station of the future. These EV Green Chargers can simultaneously charge up to 34 electric vehicles at the Expo site.
Saeed Mohammed Al Tayer, MD and CEO of Dewa, praised the Expo 2020 Dubai visitors for using EVs, supporting the wise leadership’s vision to host one of the most sustainable Expos.
“Dewa has allocated Dh4.26 billion to support electricity and water infrastructure projects at the Expo using the latest smart systems. Dewa also provides 19 EV green charger stations for charging electric vehicles in different locations at the exhibition. It also provides Expo 2020 Dubai with clean energy from the Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Solar Park, the largest single-site solar park using the Independent Power Producer (IPP) model,” added Al Tayer.
Eng. Waleed Bin Salman, executive vice president of business development and excellence at Dewa, said that Authority provides its EV green charger service to registered customers and non-registered customers, who may avail the guest mode feature at any of the EV Green Charger stations in Dubai.
Dewa has 325 charging stations across Dubai, including Expo 2020 Dubai.
