Sharjah: Sharjah Electricity, Water and Gas Authority (SEWA) has issued 8,385 no-objection certificates (NOCs) for roadworks, excavation, and construction projects across various areas of Sharjah city in 2025. These NOCs are crucial for both new and existing projects that require connections, modifications, or upgrades to electricity, water, gas, and fibre-optic networks.

According to Emirates News Agency, SEWA has also updated geographic information systems (GIS) data for 24,001 projects concerning the extension of service networks. This initiative aligns with the authority’s mission to streamline licensing procedures and facilitate the necessary approvals for project implementation.
