The fuel surcharges for electricity and water in Dubai has been reduced by up to 33 per cent.
It's in line with the directives of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, to increase the share of renewable and clean energy in Dubai’s energy mix.
According to the Dubai Supreme Council of Energy, the revised surcharge for electricity is 5 fils per kilowatt-hour instead of 6.5 fils (23% reduction), while the surcharge for water has dropped from 0.6 fils per Imperial Gallon to 0.4 fils (33% reduction).
The reduced charges will be applied on electricity and water bills from December 1, 2020.
The decision reflects the Supreme Council’s commitment to enhancing Dubai’s position in providing electricity and water services at globally competitive prices.
"In light of the increase in the share of clean energy capacity in Dubai’s energy mix to around 9%, fuel consumption has decreased. These savings will be reflected in customers’ bills," said Saeed Mohammed Al Tayer, Vice Chairman of the Dubai Supreme Council of Energy and MD and CEO of Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (DEWA).
