Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (DEWA) has installed 46 electric vehicle (EV) charging points at the car park of Al Shera’a, its new headquarters, reinforcing its commitment to sustainable mobility and supporting the wider adoption of electric vehicles in Dubai.
The charging infrastructure, deployed under DEWA’s EV Green Charger initiative, includes 40 alternating current (AC) charging points dedicated to DEWA employees and six direct current (DC) charging points for visitors.
Al Shera’a, described by DEWA as the tallest, largest and smartest net-positive government building in the world, reflects the authority’s commitment to innovation, sustainability and energy efficiency through integrated smart infrastructure that supports green mobility.
By the end of the first quarter of 2026, the number of EV charging points across Dubai had reached 2,223. The network includes DEWA’s EV Green Charger stations as well as charging stations operated by DEWA-licensed independent charge point operators in collaboration with government and private sector entities.
DEWA said it has also developed a regulatory framework for EV charging infrastructure that serves as a comprehensive reference for governing charging infrastructure and licensing requirements for independent charge point operators.
The framework addresses current and future sector needs while supporting Dubai’s continued leadership in green mobility innovation.

“We have ensured that Al Shera’a embodies the highest global sustainability standards, not only as a net-positive energy building that generates more clean energy than it consumes, but also as a smart, sustainable and human-centric workplace with integrated infrastructure that supports green mobility. This includes comprehensive EV charging facilities that encourage employees and visitors to adopt environmentally friendly transport options. In line with the vision of our wise leadership and the objectives of the UAE Net Zero Strategy 2050 and the Dubai Green Mobility Strategy 2030, we continue to strengthen Dubai’s leadership in sustainable mobility by encouraging greater adoption of EVs.”
Al Tayer added that, “We also support the emirate’s efforts to reduce carbon emissions from the transport sector, improve air quality and enhance quality of life, further consolidating Dubai’s position as a global model for sustainable cities.”
