Precio de la electricidad en Emiratos Árabes Unidos

This is the slab rate that the Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (DEWA) charges residential customers for each of the first 2,000 kWh in a month, which covers a household using, say, 1,500 kWh a month as assumed here. It leaves out DEWA's monthly fuel surcharge (6 fils per kWh in November 2026), the meter service charge and 5% VAT, so a real bill works out higher per kWh. It applies in Dubai only: the other emirates have their own utilities and tariffs, and UAE nationals' homes in Dubai pay lower rates.

DEWA charges residential use slab by slab, so each band of monthly units pays its own rate and the price rises progressively as use grows. On top of the slab charges come a fuel surcharge that DEWA sets every month (6 fils per kWh in November 2026), a meter service charge of AED 5, 6 or 35 depending on the meter type, and 5% VAT. Under the 2011 Executive Council resolution that set these rates, homes of UAE nationals pay 7.5 to 12.5 fils per kWh and no fuel surcharge.
