Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (DEWA) launched the second edition of its Infrastructure NOC (No-Objection Certificate) Technical Manual, to be a reference for contractors, consultants, and developers accredited by DEWA.
This is part of DEWA’s efforts to promote business in the Emirate. This Manual helps facilitate and accelerate the acquisition of electricity and water services according to the best international standards and practices regarding reliability, quality, and efficiency.
