How do I set up my DEWA account as a newcomer?

Setting up your Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (DEWA) account is essential for any newcomer. You can do this online or at a DEWA customer service center with documents such as your Emirates ID and tenancy contract. The initial deposit ranges from AED 1,000 to AED 2,000 depending on your property type. As someone who moved to Dubai in 2022, I found the online process incredibly convenient and quick!
