Before the fit-out: plan your DEWA connection

THE SHORT ANSWER

DEWA provides a dedicated Getting Electricity Fit-out Connections service. Confirm the application route and current document requirements with your appointed contractor before work starts.

Start with the existing supply

Record the account and premises details, existing connected load and proposed use. Have the project team identify whether the new scope changes demand or distribution.

Prepare one coordinated submission

DEWA’s builder FAQ describes technical documents including site plans, system design plans and proposed equipment details. Use the live service checklist for the exact application; this is a planning summary rather than a substitute.

Keep approval and execution connected

Assign responsibility for drawings, submission responses, site readiness and inspection coordination. Track revisions so the installation follows the approved information.

Your next step

Bring the project location, available drawings and intended scope to an initial discussion. The right next step depends on the building and its existing services.
