DEWA Launches Updated Technical Manual For Infrastructure Projects

Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (DEWA) has recently unveiled the second edition of its Infrastructure No-Objection Certificate (NOC) Technical Manual. This initiative is aimed at supporting contractors, consultants, and developers accredited by DEWA, reinforcing the Emirate's business environment. The updated manual is designed to streamline the process for acquiring electricity and water services, aligning with the highest international standards of reliability, quality, and efficiency.

The latest edition of the manual introduces 17 new project types, expanding the total to 67. It also updates the specific standards for water assets and revises the technical specifications and protection details for new electricity assets. This enhancement comes as a response to the growing infrastructure projects in Dubai and the surging demand for electricity and water services.

Saeed Mohammed Al Tayer, MD and CEO of DEWA, emphasized the organization's commitment to supporting Dubai's economic growth and population increase. He highlighted DEWA's role in backing the Dubai Economic Agenda D33, which aims to double the city's economy in the next decade and secure its position among the top three global cities. "DEWA provides all necessary capabilities and digital services that help consultants and contractors carry out their work smoothly, thereby enhancing Dubai’s competitiveness in facilitating business," Al Tayer stated.

DEWA is dedicated to fostering a motivational environment for its partners, ensuring long-term relationships that contribute to mutual prosperity. This commitment is part of DEWA's strategy to maintain its distinguished global position by offering a suite of innovative programs and services. Among these are the Al Namoos service, Marafeq smart feature, and the Ownek awareness initiative, all designed to enrich stakeholders' experience.

Furthermore, DEWA facilitates seamless transaction processes for consultants and contractors through its smart application and website. This digital approach eliminates the need for physical visits to customer happiness centres, offering convenience and security for users anytime and anywhere.

This strategic move by DEWA not only aims at enhancing operational efficiency but also supports Dubai's vision to become the smartest and happiest city in the world. By providing essential tools, requirements, and instructions with minimal effort and time, DEWA strengthens its partnerships and contributes significantly to Dubai’s competitive edge in facilitating business operations.
