Every Dubai construction project needs site power on day one. Without electricity, workers cannot run tools, lights, or equipment. Work stops before it even starts.
A DEWA Temporary Electricity Meter solves this problem. At DEWA approval UAE helps contractors, site managers, and owners get quick temporary power with full DEWA approval.
A temporary electrical meter provides short-term power for construction sites, cabins, and fit-out work.
Unlike permanent meters, temporary meters operate only during construction. Once the building is complete and permanent power is ready, DEWA removes the temporary unit.
This meter connects to a temporary distribution board (DB). The DB safely distributes power across your site for tools, lights, and offices.
Construction sites rely on steady electricity to:
Run heavy tools and equipment
Light up work areas for early or late shifts
Power site cabins, ACs, and engineer offices
Keep security systems and CCTV cameras running
Power water pumps for site preparation
Without a temporary connection, sites must rely on noisy, unsafe, and expensive generators.
You need a temporary electrical meter if you are a:
Construction company starting a new build
Contractor managing fit-out or renovation work
Project owner waiting for permanent grid connection
Developer running multiple construction sites
The Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (DEWA) strictly regulates all power connections. To get approved, you must:
Obtain a site No Objection Certificate (NOC)
Set up a temporary DB matching DEWA safety rules
Submit accurate site and load documents
Pass an official DEWA site inspection
Missing one step causes long delays. Working with experts saves you time and stress.

We collect, review, and fix your NOC papers.
Our team submits everything directly through DEWA portals.
We guide your DB setup and schedule the DEWA inspection.
DEWA connects your meter, and your site gets power.
Avoid these common site mistakes:
Missing or incorrect documents
DB setups that fail DEWA safety codes
Incorrect load calculations or location details
Late inspection scheduling
Our team catches these errors early to keep your project moving.
You will generally need:
Contractor request letter for temporary power
Site or land plan (Site Plan)
Property owner ID copy
Expected electrical load details
We verify your exact document checklist before applying.
Approval speed depends on your project size. Small fit-outs move fast. Large sites with high power needs require more technical review. We fast-track every step to avoid site downtime.
Temporary Meter: Built for short-term construction use. Removed after project completion.
Permanent Meter: Built for long-term power inside finished buildings.
Most projects start with a temporary connection and transition to a permanent meter later.
DEWA enforces strict electrical safety rules. Bad wiring or poor DB setups cause severe accidents and instant rejections. Our engineers ensure full safety compliance, preventing costly delays.
Timelines depend on site load, but we process applications using the fastest DEWA channels.
