these increases will be painful for those in AD

New utility tariffs for Abu Dhabi residents | The National

How do the prices compare to Dubai?

Inselaffen

looking at the bill think we pay 23 per kw for electricity and 3.5 for water

but then they add a surcharge of 6.5 electricity and 0.6 for water.

Emiratis pay less

lets see if they follow suit and hit us with an increase.

My AD water bill, in a villa, is typically less than AED10 per month, so though that is a large % increase, in real money it still won't be much.
Electricity is normally my main utility cost. Fortunately the % increase for electricity is a lot less. Still, it will be measurable...

I bed 71dhs for water in a 1 bed apartment in Dubai

more than half of my DEWA bill is the housing fee

It's a 40% increase...that's quite a lot.

my bills average 250.00 AED p/month since February, that's with the wife and kids at home most of the time and the A/C running. Not a biggie.

500AED per month water and electricity total (averaged out over last year), for 4BR villa, family of 4. Every year so far (3 full years and a bit) the total has dropped, which I assume indicates we've acclimatised and no longer use the aircon as much... Winter totals barely get over AED100 per month.

thats also to do with finding that the gardeners had wired in the compounds lights into our feed! who knows about the water!
