No DEWA connection charges for Dubai's commercial, industrial customers

Saeed Mohammed Al Tayer, MD & CEO of Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (DEWA) has announced new improvements to consultants and contractors as part of the Al Namoos service. Now, connections of up to 150kW will be done in just one step within seven days.
Connection charges are also waived for new connections of up to 150kW for commercial and industrial customers. The move supports the vision and directives of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice-President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, to streamline doing business in Dubai and achieve the happiness of stakeholders. This is despite the fact that UAE, represented by DEWA, ranked first in the world for getting electricity.
Al Tayer made this announcement at DEWA's ceremony to honour enrolled consultants and contractors. The ceremony was attended by DEWA's Executive Vice Presidents, Vice Presidents, and staff, as well as a large number of consultants and contractors.
In his opening speech, Al Tayer commended the important role of DEWA's partners and their efforts that have contributed to DEWA's prestigious position, locally and globally.
"Sheikh Mohammed, once said, "Working as a team, everybody takes part in building the UAE." In Dubai, government and private organisations work together to turn this vision into reality. At DEWA, we work closely with our partners to achieve our common goal, which is the happiness of individuals and society as a whole, enhance the UAE's global competitiveness, and achieve success together. Successful partnerships intend to make collective achievements that benefit everyone," said Al Tayer.
"And in line with the directives of our wise leadership to streamline doing business in Dubai and achieve the happiness of our stakeholders, and as part of our ongoing efforts to improve our services to enhance the experience of our customers and exceed their expectations, I am pleased to announce new improvements to consultants and contractors for the Al Namoos service. Now, connections of up to 150kW will be done in just one step instead of two, and only seven days instead of ten. Additionally, connection charges will be waived for new connections of up to 150kW for our commercial and industrial customers," announced Al Tayer.
"I look forward to long-term partnerships for the prosperity and competitiveness of our beloved country. We will work together for the happiness of everyone living in the UAE, and achieve DEWA's vision to become a sustainable innovative world-class utility," concluded Al Tayer.
Consultants and contractors who attended the honouring ceremony praised DEWA's new measures in electricity connections, noting that they will save their time and effort, as well as reduce cost for commercial and industrial contractors.
