Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (Dewa) has launched the second edition of its Infrastructure NOC (No-Objection Certificate) Technical Manual - a key reference for contractors, consultants and developers accredited by Dewa. 
 
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.
 
In this edition, Dewa has added 17 new project types, bringing the total number to 67. It also includes the particular standards for water assets and an update of the technical specifications and protection details for new electricity assets.
 
"Due to the increasing number of infrastructure projects in Dubai and soaring demand for electricity and water services, we are committed to keeping pace with the emirate’s economic prosperity and the increase in population, and to support Dubai Economic Agenda D33," remarked Saeed Mohammed Al Tayer, the MD and CEO of Dewa.
 
"We provide all the necessary capabilities and digital services that help consultants and contractors carry out their work and conduct their transactions smoothly and easily, to enhance Dubai’s competitiveness in facilitating business," he noted.
 
Dewa also offers consultants and contractors with a package of innovative programmes and services, including Al Namoos service, Marafeq smart feature, and the Ownek (Arabic for your help) awareness initiative, to enrich their experience, he added.
