Sharjah Electricity, Water and Gas Authority (SEWA) is a government utility[1] in the Emirate of Sharjah that provides electricity, water and natural gas to approximately 300,000 consumers.[2] SEWA also owns a bottled drinking water subsidiary named Zulal.
SEWA was a private company before the United Arab Emirates was founded in 1971. It was then called Sharjah Electricity & Water Resources Company.
It later became part of the Sharjah government and was renamed the Electricity and Water Department. As the emirate grew, the company expanded to become a financially and administratively independent entity.[4] This decree was issued by Sheikh Dr. Sultan Bin Mohammed Al-Qassimi.
SEWA opened a new SCADA center in Nasseriya[5] in 2015. As of April 2018, it had implemented 40,000 smart meters.[6]
