Quick answer: Fixer Guy provides complete DEWA approval coordination and permit assistance for EV charger installations in Dubai. Operating from Al Quoz, our electrical engineering team handles load capacity calculations, submits structural single-line drawings, and coordinates inspections to secure the municipal green charger connection. The typical DEWA permitting process takes three to five weeks. Assistance package fees range from AED 1,000 to AED 3,500 depending on property type and developer NOC requirements, subject to site survey diagnostics. Message us on WhatsApp to upload your landlord NOC and initiate your DEWA approval process today.
Understanding DEWA Permit Requirements
To connect a smart charger to Dubai's grid, DEWA approval is legally required. This ensures that the local electrical network can support the additional demand. Submitting a charger request without approval can result in fines and utility disconnections.
Documents Required for Approval
Our engineering team prepares and submits the entire document package:
- Landlord/Developer NOC: Written No Objection Certificate from your property developer (e.g. Emaar, Nakheel).
- Electrical Single-Line Diagram (SLD): Engineering drawings showing safety breakers, RCDs, and cable sizes.
- Load Calculation Sheets: Verification that your villa or building's main breaker has enough spare capacity.
- Charger Data Sheet: Technical specifications showing CE certifications and Type 2 socket compliance.
The DEWA Permitting Timeline
The permitting process typically takes 3 to 5 weeks:
- Week 1: Onsite load check, drawing preparation, and developer NOC submission.
- Weeks 2-3: DEWA engineering review and approval of the Single-Line Diagram.
- Week 4: Physical installation, safety testing, and inspection photo submissions.
- Week 5: DEWA final connection authorization and green charger card activation.
Strata Struture & Strata Approvals
For apartments, building management must review and approve the cable containment route through shared basement cable trays. We submit standard method statements, liability insurance policies, and technician visa documents to building managers to secure containment permits.
DEWA Safety Regulations and Electrical Compliance
Any electrical installation drawing from Dubai's main power grid must comply with the Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (DEWA) regulations and the BS 7671 wiring standards. High-power appliances like electric vehicle chargers draw continuous current for hours, which can cause significant thermal stress on terminal blocks, main breakers, and power cables. If wired incorrectly, it can lead to insulation degradation, short circuits, or grid phase imbalances.
At Fixer Guy, we ensure compliance by installing dedicated Type A or Type B Residual Current Devices (RCDs) and miniature circuit breakers (MCBs) directly on your main distribution board. A Type B RCD is required for three-phase chargers because standard household breakers cannot detect DC leakage currents, which can disable your RCD protection. We also install dedicated copper earthing rods to verify ground fault pathways, ensuring that any short circuit is immediately diverted to the ground.
Factual DEWA Approval Reviews

Safety Compliance & DEWA Regulations
As a professional electrical services provider based in Al Quoz, Fixer Guy strictly adheres to the Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (DEWA) regulations, BS 7671 wiring standards, and local municipality codes. Installing an electric vehicle charging station requires advanced load assessments to prevent main breaker trips, proper grounding/earthing systems, and matching RCD protection breakers (Type A or B depending on charger leakage). Our certified electricians wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) and use calibrated testers to verify loop impedance, insulation integrity, and safety shut-off mechanisms. We only source charging equipment that matches local UAE standards (including Type 2 IEC sockets) and coordinate NOC approvals with developers (such as Emaar, Nakheel, and Dubai Properties) and building managements for hassle-free deployments.
