What is DEWA Approval?

DEWA Approval is your official go-ahead from the Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (DEWA) to get electricity and water connected to your property.

It’s an essential step for any new build, renovation, or property handover, making sure your property meets all safety, technical, and legal requirements. Without it, you won’t be able to access electricity or water.

Simply put, DEWA Approval makes sure your utilities are safe, legal, and ready to use, so you can move in or start working without any hassle.

  • Final Approval & Connection
    After inspection, DEWA installs your meters. Once the security deposit is paid, your electricity and water connection is activated.

To get a DEWA Fit-Out NOC, you’ll need to submit specific technical drawings that show your project is safe and up to standard. These include:

  • TCL/MD and MDBs/SMDBs Schedule from the main project

  • Load Distribution Schedules for all distribution boards

  • Lighting Wiring Layouts detailing light connections

  • Power Wiring Layouts for all power circuits

Providing these drawings ensures DEWA can review and approve your fit-out smoothly, keeping your project compliant and on track.

To get a DEWA Fit-Out NOC, you’ll need to provide a few important documents to complete your application. These include:

  • Landlord’s NOC (in DEWA’s required format)

  • Tenancy contract copy

  • Valid trade license

  • Passport copy of the business owner

  • Ejari certificate

  • NOC from the building owner, real estate, or management
