Frequently Asked Questions
What is the average electricity bill in Dubai for a 2-bedroom apartment?
The average DEWA bill for a 2-bedroom apartment in Dubai ranges from AED 400-700 monthly depending on AC usage. Summer months (May-September) can reach AED 600-800, while winter months average AED 250-400. A typical 2-bedroom apartment consumes 1,200-1,800 kWh monthly including electricity charges, water, fuel surcharge, 5% housing fee (for tenants), municipality fee, and 5% VAT.
How is DEWA bill calculated in 2026?
DEWA bills use slab-based pricing: 0-2000 kWh = AED 0.23/kWh, 2001-4000 kWh = AED 0.28/kWh, 4001-6000 kWh = AED 0.32/kWh, 6001+ kWh = AED 0.38/kWh. Additional charges include fuel surcharge (~AED 0.065/kWh), water charges (tiered), sewage, 5% housing fee for tenants, municipality fee (5% of electricity + water), and 5% VAT on total. Use our DEWA calculator above for precise estimates.
Which emirate has the cheapest utility bills in UAE?
Abu Dhabi (ADDC/TAQA) offers the lowest utility rates for expats among major emirates, typically 15-20% cheaper than Dubai. For 1500 kWh consumption, ADDC costs approximately AED 560 vs DEWA’s AED 710. UAE nationals receive heavily subsidized rates (up to 85% discount). Sharjah (SEWA) has the highest residential rates. Northern emirates offer mid-range pricing through Etihad WE.
What is the Dubai housing fee and who pays it?
The Dubai housing fee is 5% of your electricity consumption charges, applicable only to tenants renting properties. Property owners are exempt. For example, if your electricity portion is AED 400, the housing fee is AED 20. This fee funds affordable housing initiatives under Dubai Municipality and appears as a separate line item on DEWA bills.
How much does it cost to run AC 24/7 in Dubai?
Running a 1.5-ton AC 24/7 in Dubai costs approximately AED 300-380 monthly at DEWA rates. A 1.5-ton AC consumes ~1.5 kW, running 24 hours = 36 kWh daily = 1,080 kWh monthly. At average DEWA rate AED 0.32/kWh plus fuel surcharge, this equals ~AED 360/month. Setting thermostat to 24°C and using timers can reduce this by 30-40%. Use our AC cost calculator above for precise estimates.
Can I get solar panels installed in UAE?
Yes, residential solar is permitted through net metering programs: DEWA’s Shams Dubai (Dubai) and similar programs in Abu Dhabi and Sharjah. A typical 5-10 kW system costs AED 18,000-35,000 installed and saves 60-80% on electricity bills. Payback period is 5-7 years with 25-year system lifespan. Requirements include property owner permission, approved installer, and utility application.
