Dubai’s EV infrastructure is entering a new phase of regulation and standardization.
The Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (DEWA) has introduced a mandatory new approval for any facility intending to operate electric vehicle (EV) charging stations for public use. This includes commercial buildings, offices, hotels, resorts, restaurants, and residential buildings offering EV charging access beyond private use.
What’s Changed?
Previously, setting up an EV charging station required only the standard DEWA electricity connection approval. Now, an additional and essential step has been introduced: the DEWA CPO Approval.
This new requirement is designed to:
- Standardize tariffs, safety protocols, and operational procedures
- Ensure consistent quality and compliance across all public charging stations
- Bring all open-access facilities under a unified regulatory framework
What This Means for Property Owners and Operators
Regardless of whether you’ve invested in the infrastructure independently or through a vendor, this new approval is now mandatory before any public EV charging activity can begin.
That’s where Regeny comes in.
