UAE: Dubai eyes privatising power, water sectors

Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (DEWA) said on Tuesday that it was aiming to attract advisors for its plan to privatise the emirate's power generation and water desalination sectors.

It is the latest move to promote competitiveness of Dubai, DEWA said in a statement, adding that it was "working to attract advisory services offers for privatisation".

Saeed Mohammed Al Tayer, managing director and CEO of DEWA, said he was keen to get the private sector involved in power and water generation.
