According to Amac News: These initiatives are part of a comprehensive strategy to reduce the consumption of electricity, water and transportation fuel. These decisions specifically call for a 30% reduction in electricity consumption and a 20% reduction in water and fuel consumption by 2030.
Working with its partners, EtihadWE has successfully replaced around 42 km of old pipes with new and efficient technologies including SmartBall and acoustic inspection tools.
To improve energy efficiency in Ras Al Khaimah, more than 213,000 smart meters for electricity and water have been installed by Union Water and Electricity Company, which enables more accurate monitoring and management.
This infrastructure is complemented by smart technologies that help consumers make more efficient use of their resources and align with the overall goals of sustainability and technological advancement in the emirate.
In addition, the expansion of electric vehicle (EV) infrastructure through the UAEV joint initiative between MoEI and EtihadWE, previously announced in 2024, includes the installation of more than 120 fast chargers in Ras Al Khaimah over the next five years, and is planned for approx. 1,000 chargers to be installed in different parts of the UAE by 2030.

Also, more than 180 million dirhams have been invested in the smart meter project in the emirate to date. Also, measures have been taken to install about 120 electric vehicle chargers in Ras Al Khaimah during the next five years, which shows the commitment to expand the infrastructure of electric vehicles.
