Sharjah Electricity and Water Authority (Sewa) held talks with leading Indian construction group Larsen & Toubro (L&T) on its future developments and discussed ways to boost partnership for the upcoming ‘smart energy’ projects, according to a report by the UAE state news agency WAM.
Dr Rashid Al Leem, the chairman of Sewa, and Praveen Gopal, sales manager at Larsen & Toubro, who led the company delegation, discussed the major strategic plans of Sewa for 2020 and future projects.
