Arabie saoudite : prix de l’électricité

This is the government-approved residential rate that Saudi Energy, formerly Saudi Electricity Company, charges for every kWh up to 6,000 a month, so it applies to a household using, for example, 2,000 kWh a month as assumed here. It leaves out the monthly meter reading, maintenance and billing charge of SAR 10 to 22 and VAT at 15%, so a real bill works out somewhat higher per kWh. The rates rise on 1 January 2027, when a fixed monthly charge also replaces the meter charge.

Households pay slab by slab: the first 6,000 kWh in a month at 18 halalas each and every kWh above that at 30 halalas. Each bill also carries a meter reading, maintenance and billing charge of SAR 10, 15, 21 or 22 a month, depending on whether the breaker is rated below 100, 200 or 300 amperes or higher, and VAT at 15% on the total. From 1 January 2027 the rates become 21 and 33 halalas, and the meter charge is replaced by a fixed tariff of SAR 70 to 100 a month by breaker capacity; use before that date is still billed at today's rates.
