Since its establishment, Sharjah Electricity and Water Authority has been though several changes.  The city of Sharjah, during the fifties and early sixties, got its electricity from private generators that were distributed around the area at that time.  In 1964, “Sharjah Electricity Company” was established, and a power plant was formed for the company in Al Jubail area.  Two more plants were added to the company and each plant worked on diesel, generating 250 kilowatts; and a third was added that generated 200 kilowatts and a fourth of 250 kilowatts.  In 1968 an Amiri Decree was released stating the establishment of “The Department of Electrical Resources of Sharjah”; the ownership of the Company was handed over to the Government of Sharjah.

With the changes and improvements in the Economic and Social Development in the Emirate of Sharjah, H.H Dr. Sheikh Sultan bin Mohammed Al Qassimi, member of the Supreme Council and Ruler of Sharjah, issued Amiri Decree # 1 for the formation of “Sharjah Electricity and Water Authority” as it is known today.  SEWA became financially and administratively independent.  SEWA provided services in electricity, water and natural gas to all Sharjah Residents and was able to handle the demands that the consumers required.

In 1995 Zulal Water Factory as established to produce bottled drinking water that met international standards and advanced technology; Zulal Water Factory was later awarded 2008/9001 ISO certificate, Food Safety Quality Certificate (HACCP) and the Emirati Quality Certificate (ESMA).
