Calculate your Ajman electricity and water bill accurately
FEWA (Federal Electricity and Water Authority) manages utility services in Ajman with a progressive slab tariff system similar to DEWA in Dubai and SEWA in Sharjah. The slab system encourages energy conservation by charging lower rates for basic consumption and progressively higher rates as usage increases. This structure helps keep Ajman utility costs competitive while promoting sustainable consumption patterns.
✓ Key Features of FEWA Ajman Billing 2026:
FEWA electricity rates in Ajman follow a progressive slab structure with rates measured in fils per kilowatt-hour (kWh). The residential tariff is designed to keep basic electricity affordable while encouraging efficient usage. As of January 2026, FEWA maintains competitive rates compared to other UAE emirates.
| Consumption Slab | Monthly Usage Range | Rate per kWh | Cost Example |
|---|---|---|---|
| Slab 1 | 0 - 2,000 kWh | 23 fils (AED 0.23) | 1,000 kWh = AED 230 |
| Slab 2 | 2,001 - 4,000 kWh | 28 fils (AED 0.28) | Next 1,000 kWh = AED 280 |
| Slab 3 | 4,001 - 6,000 kWh | 32 fils (AED 0.32) | Next 1,000 kWh = AED 320 |
| Slab 4 | 6,001+ kWh | 38 fils (AED 0.38) | Each additional kWh = AED 0.38 |
FEWA water charges in Ajman are calculated based on consumption measured in imperial gallons (IG). One imperial gallon equals approximately 4.546 liters, or about 220 imperial gallons per cubic meter. Water rates also follow a progressive slab structure to encourage conservation, with desalinated water being a valuable resource in the UAE.
| Consumption Slab | Monthly Usage Range | Rate per IG | Approximate m³ Cost |
|---|---|---|---|
| Slab 1 | 0 - 6,000 IG | 3.5 fils (AED 0.035) | ≈ AED 7.70 per m³ |
| Slab 2 | 6,001 - 12,000 IG | 4.0 fils (AED 0.040) | ≈ AED 8.80 per m³ |
| Slab 3 | 12,001+ IG | 4.6 fils (AED 0.046) | ≈ AED 10.12 per m³ |
💧 Water Measurement Conversion:
Similar to Dubai's DEWA fuel surcharge, FEWA applies an additional fuel surcharge to recover the cost of fuel used in electricity generation and water desalination. This charge is applied to all consumption regardless of the slab rate and is subject to periodic adjustments based on international fuel prices.
Current Rate (2026): 6.0 fils per kWh (AED 0.060)
Application: Applied to every kilowatt-hour consumed
Example: 1,000 kWh consumption = AED 60 fuel surcharge
Consistency: Same rate as Dubai DEWA and Sharjah SEWA
Current Rate (2026): 0.5 fils per imperial gallon (AED 0.005)
Application: Applied to every imperial gallon consumed
Example: 6,000 IG consumption = AED 30 fuel surcharge
Conversion: Approximately AED 1.10 per cubic meter
Purpose: Recover actual fuel costs for power generation
Variable: Adjusted based on international fuel market prices
Transparency: Separate line item on your FEWA bill
Future: Expected to decrease as renewable energy increases
