This is the DEWA guide: The need-to-know for every Dubai resident who pays a DEWA bill

1. Understand your bill

Every bill contains DEWA charges on electricity & water, and sewerage & housing fee that DEWA collect on behalf of Dubai Municipality. The bill also outlines any cooling charges or additional charges you may have incurred. To understand your bill in detail,  click here.

Remember the first step to happiness is being aware!

2. See how much electricity other homes of a similar size are consuming

The Smart Living initiative allows you to compare your electricity and water consumption with similar homes in the neighbourhood. With the My Smart Living tool within the Smart Living initiative, you can compare how much energy other homes consume, which might just help you figure out ways of reducing your own consumption… and therefore reducing your bill. Helpful!
