Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (DEWA) launched the OWNEK (Arabic equivalent of ‘your help’) awareness initiative to help its accredited contractors and consultants obtain DEWA’s approval on the first instance when requesting electricity connections, to save their effort and time, and facilitate and speed up the workflow.
The initiative includes a series of awareness sessions and detailed videos in Arabic and English, to explain all the pillars, instructions, and requirements to be considered, when submitting applications, including tips and recommendations that will speed up the approval process.

We are committed to providing the tools, requirements and instructions that enable stakeholders to work within the best conditions and with the least possible effort and time, to enrich their experience, achieve their happiness, and the interest of all parties, in addition, to facilitate and accelerate the mechanism for obtaining electricity service. This is in accordance with the best international standards and practices.
