FEWA Bill

When living in the United Arab Emirates, understanding your utility costs is essential for managing your household or business expenses. If you reside in the Northern Emirates such as Ajman, Fujairah, Ras Al Khaimah, or Umm Al Quwain your utilities are managed by the Federal Electricity and Water Authority (FEWA). The FEWA bill outlines the monthly charges for electricity, water, and sometimes sewerage, helping residents and businesses track their consumption and payments.

In this guide, we’ll break down every aspect of the FEWA bill, explain how the charges are calculated, where you can pay them, and how to save on your monthly expenses.

What Is FEWA?

FEWA, short for Federal Electricity & Water Authority, was established by the UAE government to supply electricity and water to the Northern Emirates. Unlike Dubai (served by DEWA) or Abu Dhabi (served by ADDC or AADC), the northern region relies on FEWA for all major utility needs.

What Does the FEWA Bill Include?

Your monthly FEWA bill typically consists of the following components:

1. Electricity Charges
   
   • Billed based on kilowatt-hour (kWh) consumption.
     
   • Tiered pricing applies the more you consume, the higher the rate per unit.
     
2. Water Charges
   
   • Calculated based on consumption in gallons or cubic meters.
     
   • Tiered pricing also applies here.
     
3. Sewerage Charges(in some emirates)
   
   • Calculated as a percentage of the water bill or as a flat monthly fee.
     
4. Fixed Service Fees
   
   • Administrative or meter maintenance charges.
     
5. Value Added Tax (VAT)
   
   • 5% applied to most items on the bill.
