Re: DEWA
it's all "explained" in 7 days this morning.
Due to the high price of oil, the surcharge has increased. When oil comes down in price the surcharge will come down - accoding to the paper.
However, back in the real world; the price of oil has dropped considerably from May to June. Maybe it's inversely proportional to change in the price of oil or more likley just another half-baked excuse for charging what the h*ll they like.

When prices are high, you will be charged high
When prices are low, you may be told that "sorry, we purchased oil when it was its highest rate 4 months back so you will be charged high"

Re: DEWA
My bill is usually 230 (as I'm not actually living there often, so it's only the fridge that's taking electricity).
In June, it was 220.

Re: DEWA
I dont think this is another increase; we have been paying a visible "fuel charge" since January

Re: DEWA
The big bills have nothing to do with the surcharge.
The surcharge went from 6.2 fills to 7 fills. This is hardly a big increase - especially when it is added to the 28fills of the base cost. The all in cost has therefore gone from 34.2 fills to 35fills per kwh.
A 2% increase.
The 50% increases people are seeing are something else - wrong meter readings, estimates or DEWA playing games. For some reason, according to my bill we consumed no water at all last month.
