OREANDA-NEWS. RWE is further developing and strengthening its engagement in the MENA region. RWE Middle East, a joint venture between the Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (DEWA) and RWE Consulting GmbH and RWE Technology GmbH founded in autumn 2012, has been awarded major consulting contracts in the region in the recent few weeks.
First, the company announced today in the course of the Annual General Meeting (AGM) of RWE Group its successful bid for Dubai integrated energy strategy. RWE Middle East is advising the government of Dubai (Dubai Supreme Council of Energy) on their Integrated Energy Strategy 2030. The team will advise Dubai on all major questions of their Energy Strategy - from determining the ideal supply mix to demand side efficiency and energy innovation. RWE won this project after a very competitive selection process against all major strategy consultancies.

The joint venture already advises a leading energy company in Abu Dhabi on the development of their Smart Meter Strategy. RWE’s huge experience in Smart Meter and Smart Grid paired with the strategic competence lead to convincing the client that RWE was the best choice out of a competitive selection process.

In the course of today’s AGM, Peter Terium, CEO of RWE AG, explained the importance of these initiatives: “There are interesting regions that have not previously been the focus of our business activities, but still offer opportunities. We also want to increase our level of activity in the Arabian Peninsula and in North Africa and offer the countries of the Arabian Peninsula comprehensive consulting services. Our latest successes in particular the “Dubai integrated energy strategy project” were only possible due to the fact that our experts were able to win out in an intensive selection procedure against prominent global consulting companies. This shows that our expertise in energy matters is sought after. We enjoy a good reputation in the region.“
