What is DEWA NOC?
A DEWA Connection NOC is a clearance certificate issued by DEWA confirming that a property has no outstanding electricity or water bills, no illegal connections, and no violations. This NOC is commonly required during property sales (to verify no outstanding dues), building permit applications (to confirm site eligibility), and new connection requests. The NOC is valid for 60 days from issuance. DEWA also issues specialized NOCs for temporary construction connections, event power supply, and district cooling coordination.
