How to Transfer Your DEWA Account When Moving Home in Dubai

Moving to a new home in Dubai means your water and electricity need to move with you. DEWA — the Dubai Electricity & Water Authority — supplies both across the emirate, and the account for your new place is set up around your tenancy registration. Here is what happens and what to do, step by step.

Procedure per DEWA — Dubai Electricity & Water Authority (dewa.gov.ae). Fees and timelines change — check the authority's website. We don't invent numbers.

Setting up DEWA at your new home

  1. 1

    Register your tenancy with Ejari first

    Your new DEWA account is triggered once your tenancy contract is registered through Ejari. Get Ejari issued for the new property before you expect anything from DEWA.

    Watch for the DEWA welcome email

    After Ejari is issued, DEWA will send a welcome email to the customer. This is your confirmation that the account for the new home is being set up, so keep an eye on your inbox.

  3. 3

    Check the details inside the email

    The email includes the new account number, security deposit details and payment link. Note down the new account number and review the security deposit details there — the current amount should be confirmed on the DEWA website, as we don't quote figures we can't verify.

    Pay to activate and settle bills

    Use the payment link from the welcome email to handle the security deposit. For ongoing bills, customers can pay DEWA bills using various payment channels, including the EasyPay service, which makes paying easy.
