The Dubai Electricity & Water Authority has assumed that they have been forming plans with Dubai's Supreme Council of Energy to make certain supplies which could meet the rising energy requirements and spreading energy sources.

The companies were invited by DEWA for proposals on November 1st 2010. This was held in Dubai with the purpose for having a technological study on coal-based power generation.

A spokesperson of DEWA has stated that by having the approval of these bids will support two main intentions. Firstly, it would lead to the development and increase worldwide status of Dubai. Secondly, it would protect the environment and natural resources from pollution.
