DEWA registered a 4.51 per cent annual increase in electrical connection requests for commercial projects through its Al Namoos service in 2024, according to MD and CEO of DEWA, Saeed Mohammed Al Tayer.

The increase highlights DEWA's commitment to keep pace with the rising demand for electricity and water services driven by Dubai's urban expansion as its population and economy continue to grow.

Al Namoos, an Emirati word that describes a race winner, provides electricity connections of up to 150 kilowatts within five days to DEWA’s accredited consultants and contractors through a two-step process.

DEWA received 8,241 requests for electricity connections in 2024. The number of its accredited consultants and contractors stood at 2,123 by 31 December 2024.

Consultants and contractors can also benefit from DEWA’s Soqoor Programme, Marafeq Smart Feature and the OWNEK awareness initiative, in addition to access to the second edition of its Infrastructure NOC Technical Manual.
