DEWA has completed a full rollout of smart electricity and water meters at the main utility connection for properties across Dubai, so that part is already handled. InterKraft's work sits alongside that: DEWA-compliant meter connections for new developments, and sub-metering within buildings so facility managers and landlords can track individual unit or tenant consumption, across Dubai and the wider UAE.
What Is Sub-Metering?
Sub-metering installs additional meters downstream of DEWA's single main meter, so consumption can be measured separately for individual units, tenants, or sections of a building. This is distinct from DEWA's own smart meter, which measures the property as a whole.
Who Is This For?
InterKraft provides metering services for:
- Property developers needing DEWA-compliant connections for new buildings
- Landlords and facility managers billing individual tenants or units separately
- Commercial buildings tracking consumption by floor or department
- Facility managers integrating consumption data into a building management system
Our Smart Metering Services
- Supply & Installation: We supply and install sub-meters and DEWA-compliant connection infrastructure, including electric, water, and gas metering, for accurate, real-time data monitoring within a property.
- System Integration: Our smart meters can be seamlessly integrated with existing energy management systems, building automation systems, or IoT platforms for enhanced control and analysis.
- Data Analytics & Reporting: We offer comprehensive data collection, real-time analytics, and detailed reports that help track energy consumption patterns, identify inefficiencies, and optimize usage.
- Smart Meter Upgrades: We upgrade existing metering systems to smarter, more efficient solutions that provide detailed data and enhanced reporting capabilities.
- Maintenance & Support: Our regular servicing and support ensure that your smart metering system remains functional and accurate over time.
How Is It Installed?
For new developments, InterKraft handles the wiring, panel preparation, and load calculations needed before DEWA can activate a connection, and supports the approval process. For sub-metering, we assess the building's layout and existing wiring, install meters at the points needed, and connect them to a reporting dashboard or existing BMS.
Why Choose InterKraft for Metering
InterKraft handles the wiring, installation, integration, and ongoing maintenance ourselves, so you deal with one team rather than coordinating between an electrical contractor and a separate metering specialist. We work with property developers, landlords, and facility managers across Dubai and the wider UAE.
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, DEWA has completed a full rollout of smart electricity and water meters at the main utility connection for properties across Dubai. InterKraft's work is different: we handle the DEWA-compliant wiring, panel preparation, and load calculations needed for a new property's utility connection, and we install sub-meters within a building so a facility manager or landlord can track individual unit or tenant consumption, separate from DEWA's single main meter.
Sub-metering installs additional meters within a property, downstream of DEWA's main meter, so a landlord or facility manager can measure and bill individual units, tenants, or building sections separately, rather than relying on one combined reading for the whole property.
Yes. InterKraft integrates sub-meter data with existing building automation systems or IoT platforms, so consumption data feeds into the same dashboard used for HVAC, lighting, and other building systems.
Yes, new villas, apartments, offices, and commercial buildings need a properly wired and DEWA-compliant connection before a meter can be activated. InterKraft handles this preparation work and supports the DEWA approval process.
