SEWA operates various power generation facilities, water desalination plants, and gas networks. It has been actively involved in developing independent power and water projects to enhance capacity and efficiency. In recent initiatives, such as the Hamriyah independent water project, SEWA acts as the offtaker, purchasing water under long-term agreements to ensure a stable supply for the population.

As a public authority, SEWA is owned by the Government of Sharjah and focuses on sustainable development, including the adoption of advanced technologies for water treatment and energy production. It plays a critical role in supporting the economic growth of Sharjah by maintaining reliable utility services and investing in infrastructure upgrades. The authority's operations are centered in Sharjah, contributing to the region's position in the utilities sector within the Gulf Cooperation Council countries.
