The targeted customers of DEWA’s conservation programmes successfully achieved cumulative savings of 2.2 terrawatt hours of electricity and 5.6 million imperial gallons of water
These savings are equivalent to annual electricity consumption from approximately 211,000 apartments and annual water consumption of 120,000 apartments. The reducing of this 1.1 million tonnes of carbon emissions is equivalent to planting 1.24 million trees and the consumption of 137 million LED lights, while water saving was equivalent to filling up 10,000 Olympic swimming pools.
