What is the DEWA EV Green Charger Programme?

The Dubai Electricity & Water Authority (DEWA) launched its EV Green Charger programme to accelerate the adoption of electric vehicles across Dubai. The programme provides a regulatory framework for installing Level 2 (AC) and DC Fast Chargers at residential, commercial, and public locations throughout the emirate.

As of 2026, there are over 3,000 DEWA-approved public charging points across Dubai, with the authority targeting 10,000 chargers by 2030 as part of the Dubai Clean Energy Strategy.

Who Can Apply?

The DEWA EV Green Charger NOC (No-Objection Certificate) is required for:

  • Villa owners installing a private home charger
  • Building developers adding chargers to apartment complex parking
  • Commercial landlords deploying public charging for customers
  • Fleet operators setting up dedicated depot charging

Application Requirements

To apply for a DEWA EV Green Charger NOC, you will need:

  1. Premises Ownership Documents โ€” Title deed or RERA registration
  2. Technical Drawing โ€” Single-line diagram of the proposed electrical installation
  3. Equipment Specifications โ€” DEWA-approved charger model and technical datasheet
  4. Contractor License โ€” Only DEWA-approved contractors can submit applications

EvGo UAE holds DEWA contractor approval DEWA/2019/EV/001 and can manage the entire application process on your behalf.
