Electricity from water: Dubai to get clean energy from Hatta plant in April

Dubai: For the first time, Dubai will start getting electricity from water in Hatta from April this year, the Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (DEWA) announced on Sunday.

Saeed Mohammed Al Tayer, MD & CEO of Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (DEWA), announced that the pumped-storage hydroelectric power plant DEWA is developing in Hatta will gradually begin exporting clean energy to Dubai for the first time in April 2025. He added that the operational tests of the clean energy power plant began in January 2025.

Al Tayer made these announcements during an inspection visit to review progress on the power plant, which is the first of its kind in the GCC region.

The project, which is 96.82% complete, is designed to generate electricity using water stored in the Hatta Dam and a newly constructed upper dam in the mountains. The plant will have a production capacity of 250 megawatts (MW), a storage capacity of 1,500 megawatt-hours and a lifespan of up to 80 years with an investment of Dh1.421 billion.

Al Tayer stated that the project aligns with the vision and directives of Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, to achieve comprehensive and sustainable development across the emirate. It also supports the Dubai Clean Energy Strategy 2050 and the Dubai Net Zero Carbon Emissions Strategy 2050, which aim to provide 100% of Dubai’s total power production capacity from clean energy sources by 2050.
