If you’re planning any electrical or water related work in Dubai, you have to get DEWA approval. DEWA stands for Dubai Electricity and Water Authority. It is the governing body that ensures all installations, upgrades, and modifications related to electricity and water systems in the Dubai emirate are done safely and according to the regulations.
Why DEWA Approval is Important?
When you are building a new villa, setting up a commercial space, or upgrading your electrical systems, DEWA approval is mandatory. This makes sure that your work complies with safety standards of Dubai. Without proper approval, you could face penalties, project delays, or even the rejection of your connection request.
What type of Projects Need DEWA Approval?
Any project that involves:
- New electrical connections
- Load upgrades
- Modifications to existing water or electrical systems
- Installation of solar panels
- Infrastructure for new buildings or extensions
For any residential, commercial, or industrial project, securing DEWA clearance at the right time is important to avoid unnecessary delays or issues.
