Doha, Qatar: Qatar General Electricity and Water Corporation (Kahramaa) has stressed the importance of adhering to approved technical requirements and specifications when carrying out electricity and water installations, emphasising that compliance is essential to ensuring the safe, reliable and efficient operation of facilities.

The Corporation has called on contractors, consultants, developers and customers to fully comply with approved technical standards and specifications when implementing electricity and water installations, highlighting that these systems are fundamental to the safe and reliable operation of buildings and infrastructure.

Kahramaa said that strict adherence to the approved requirements helps protect lives and property, reduces potential risks, and ensures the continuous delivery of electricity and water services with high levels of efficiency and quality.

The corporation emphasised that reviewing all approved technical requirements before commencing any installation work is a necessary step to avoid repeated observations and non-compliance issues. It added that early compliance also helps accelerate connection procedures and ensures that projects meet all official regulatory requirements.

Kahramaa noted that compliance should begin at the planning and design stage and continue throughout every phase of implementation. Following the approved standards from the outset contributes to safe, sustainable and reliable infrastructure while minimising delays during project execution.

The corporation also urged customers and stakeholders to rely exclusively on Kahramaa’s official communication channels for accurate and approved information regarding electricity and water services, reaffirming its commitment to promoting safety, service quality and regulatory compliance as part of its mission to provide reliable utility services across Qatar.

The advisory forms part of Kahramaa’s ongoing efforts to raise awareness of best practices in electricity and water installations and support the development of safe and sustainable infrastructure in line with national standards.
