The Dubai Electricity and Water Authority has posted record profit in the first nine months of 2026, underpinned by increased demand for its utility services in the emirate. Net profit attributable to owners of the company in the nine months to the end of September jumped 11 per cent year-on-year to more than Dh7.1 billion ($1.93 billion), Dewa said in a regulatory filing on Thursday to the Dubai Financial Market, where its shares are traded.
