Getting DEWA approval is a required step for most commercial and residential projects in Dubai. Whether you are opening a new office, fitting out a retail space, increasing electrical load, or applying for a new meter, DEWA approvals must be applied correctly and on time.


Our DEWA approval service handles the full process for you, from drawings and documentation to online submissions, authority coordination, and inspection support, so your project moves forward without delays or rejections.

What is DEWA Approval?

DEWA APPROVAL SERVICE

DEWA approval is official clearance from the Dubai Electricity and Water Authority for electricity and water services related to your property or project. It is required before power or water can be connected, modified, or increased.


You typically need DEWA approval in the following cases:

• Commercial or residential fit-out works

• Applying for a new electricity or water meter

• Requesting additional electrical load

• Modifying existing electrical or plumbing systems

• Opening a business that requires authority NOCs


Without DEWA approval, inspections cannot be completed and services cannot be activated.
