Dubai Electricity & Water Authority (DEWA) – UAE – Best Practice Certification – 2026 (Cable Life Cycle Ageing)
DEWA developed an in-house Cable Life Cycle Ageing Management System that uses a proprietary mathematical "Ageing Score" to predict and prevent medium-voltage cable failures before they happen, replacing reactive or ad-hoc circuit selection with data-driven prioritization across more than 37,000 km of underground cable. By fusing fault history, load data, cable design, and environmental stressors into one actionable score per circuit, the system directs preventive rectification exactly where it'
