Licensing Electricity Generation

Dubai long retained a vertically integrated power and water sector in which Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (DEWA) owned and operated all power production and water desalination plants, in addition to the associated transmission and distribution networks. In the past decade Dubai has permitted private sector participation in electricity and water production projects.

Regulatory Framework

Legislation

In line with Dubai’s strategy of diversifying its electricity generation fuel mix, Law No 6 of 2011 establishes a framework for private sector participation in the water and electricity sector along with other legislation.

Standards

The relationship between DEWA as operator of the electricity transmission system and Independent Power Producers is governed by an IWPP Code and Renewables Standards.

Licences

One of the RSB’s main duties is to license new entrants in the markets for electricity and water production.
