It also supports the Dubai 10X initiative launched by His Highness, and our endeavour to contribute to shaping a new digital future for Dubai through Digital DEWA, the digital arm of DEWA, becoming the world's first digital utility to use autonomous systems for renewable energy and storage. We are also expanding the use of AI and digital services," Al Tayer said.
