DEWA Approval Services

Get DEWA approvals with the help of our expert consultants to ensure your project meets all electricity and water regulations in Dubai. Whether you are setting up a residential, commercial, or industrial facility, compliance with DEWA standards is mandatory.

DEWA approval is required before electricity or water can be connected, changed, or upgraded in Dubai. If you’re opening a shop, office, renovating a villa, or increasing electrical load, DEWA approval must be in place before any work can proceed. Approval Dubai Team manages the complete DEWA approval process for you. We take care of drawings, document preparation, online submission, authority comments, and final clearance, helping you avoid delays and unnecessary revisions.

What is DEWA Approval?

DEWA approval is an official clearance issued by Dubai Electricity and Water Authority. It confirms that your proposed electrical or water works are following the DEWA Authority regulations and technical standards.

You may need DEWA approval for:

  • New electricity or water connection
  • Fit-out or interior works
  • Additional electrical load
  • Meter installation or upgrade
  • Renovation or layout changes
  • Temporary power supply

Without DEWA approval, any kind of power connection or modification will not be allowed.

DEWA Approval Process

We follow a clear, step-by-step process that aligns with DEWA requirements and authority portals.
