HE Saeed Mohammed Al Tayer, MD & CEO of Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (DEWA) stated that DEWA approved 6,861 Informational Service applications through its Marafeq smart feature during the first half of 2026, enabling registered consultants and contractors to obtain faster approvals for 25,643 no-objection certificates (NOCs) for infrastructure Projects. A key milestone in DEWA’s ongoing digital transformation journey, Marafeq enables users to obtain the Informational Service in as little as 20 minutes, compared to 60 minutes previously. This has reduced processing time by up to 67% and made the service journey three times faster, further enhancing efficiency and stakeholder experience.

“In line with the ‘We the UAE 2031’ vision and the Dubai Economic Agenda (D33), we are committed to expanding opportunities that support the sustainable growth of our partners, regardless of their business size. We are dedicated to accelerating and facilitating project completion and providing a stimulating environment that drives further development and maintains Dubai’s strong economic and urban momentum. DEWA is committed to delivering innovative services and programmes that support Dubai’s infrastructure development while ensuring sustained progress and reinforcing the foundations of the emirate’s future growth,” added Al Tayer.

The advanced feature leverages Geographic Information Systems technology to provide a smart alternative to conventional offline DGN or CAD files. This approach enhances data protection, minimises the risk of data loss during format conversion and improves overall accuracy.

The platform also provides access to detailed maps and data on DEWA’s services, offering stakeholders reliable and precise information to support infrastructure planning and development across Dubai.
