Before you start
Moving into a new property is always a busy time, so we’ve made it really simple to set up your TAQA Distribution account to enjoy our water and electricity services at your new home.
If you’re renting a property within Abu Dhabi city or surrounding areas, your tenancy contract should be registered with Tawtheeq, the city’s tenancy contract register.
