Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed, Crown Prince of Dubai and chairman of Dubai Executive Council, awarded Dubai Electricity and Water Authority a special prize.
The authority won the "best government initiative award" for its smart living programme at a ceremony on Thursday.
Dewa also took home the coveted "Flag of the Hamdan bin Mohammed Programme for Government Services".
Among 50 initiatives submitted by 28 government departments, eight were shortlisted to compete for the coveted flag.
Dewa's initiative helps residents to monitor their electricity and water consumption.
"Despite the exceptional circumstances created by the pandemic, Dubai has been able to turn the greatest of challenges into opportunities," Sheikh Hamdan said.
"Government entities have been able to ensure the highest levels of business and service continuity. No matter what the challenges are, our aspirations will continue to be sky high. We have a deep commitment to innovation and improvement."
Other initiatives shortlisted included Dubai Police's clearance certificate; the Roads and Transport Authority's Tarabut systems integration plan; Dubai Land Department's Taqyimee smart application for real estate valuators; Dubai Health Authority's medical fitness system, Salem; Dubai Economy's auto renewal; Dubai Culture and Arts Authority's virtual guided museum tours initiative; and Dubai Municipality's Qoot mobile food testing.

Why your domicile status is important
Your UK residence status is assessed using the statutory residence test. While your residence status – ie where you live - is assessed every year, your domicile status is assessed over your lifetime.
Your domicile of origin generally comes from your parents and if your parents were not married, then it is decided by your father. Your domicile is generally the country your father considered his permanent home when you were born.
UK residents who have their permanent home ("domicile") outside the UK may not have to pay UK tax on foreign income. For example, they do not pay tax on foreign income or gains if they are less than £2,000 in the tax year and do not transfer that gain to a UK bank account.
A UK-domiciled person, however, is liable for UK tax on their worldwide income and gains when they are resident in the UK.
