We understand how essential water and electricity connections are for any residential or commercial project in Dubai. That’s why we offer complete support for securing DEWA approvals in Dubai, ensuring your project meets all legal and technical requirements set by the Dubai Electricity and Water Authority.
Whether you’re constructing a new building, planning a renovation, or setting up a commercial fit-out, you need DEWA’s permission before utilities can be connected or modified. Our experienced team takes care of the process from start to finish, avoiding delays and reducing the risk of rejection.
What Is DEWA and Why Is Approval Needed?
DEWA, short for the Dubai Electricity and Water Authority, is the government body responsible for providing electricity, water, and sewage services across the city. Any new connection, upgrade, or infrastructure change requires formal approval from DEWA.
The DEWA approval process ensures that all utility connections are safe and efficient and comply with Dubai’s engineering and safety regulations. Whether you’re installing a new meter, requesting an additional load, or applying for a water connection, approval is mandatory.
DEWA Approval Process in Dubai
Our process is designed to make your experience smooth and stress-free. Here’s how we handle it:
1. Initial Consultation and Assessment
We begin by reviewing your project requirements—residential, commercial, or industrial. Based on this, we identify the type of DEWA approvals needed, such as a new connection or additional load approval.
2. Document Preparation and Review
Our engineers and consultants gather all required documents, including electrical load schedules, wiring layouts, site plans, and landlord approvals. Every document is reviewed carefully to ensure it aligns with DEWA’s technical guidelines.
3. Online Submission to DEWA
Once all the paperwork is ready, we apply through DEWA’s online portal. This includes uploading technical drawings and other supporting files required under the DEWA submission requirements.
4. Review and Site Inspection
DEWA reviews the application. If needed, a technical inspection of the site is scheduled. Our team coordinates directly with the authorities to ensure the inspection is passed smoothly.
5. Final Approval and Connection
After approval, DEWA issues the NOC and arranges for the installation of meters. Once the security deposit is paid, the water or electricity supply is connected.
