How and when is consumption being estimated?

In an extremely rare and exception scenario, even after all our efforts to read your monthly meter, there are situations where the meter reading is not available, due to locked premises or any technical reason we then estimate the consumption based on customer/premises consumption pattern. We do this in order to avoid any cumulative bill to customers in subsequent month,. Any customer requiring information on the estimation methodology can send an email to customercare@dewa.gov.ae.

Further, once the actual reading is received then DEWA will adjust any estimated bills which may be more or less based on actual consumption.

Can customers submit meter readings?

In exceptional circumstances, by mutual agreement with customer, meter readings provided by customer can be accepted.

What if I overpaid or underpaid my bill?

Customer advance payments/over payment remains as credit in their account and it is automatically adjusted by the system against the new monthly invoice amount. The underpayment amount accumulates within the next monthly invoice with clear details of current month invoice amount and previous balance. However, the supply will be liable for disconnection according to DEWA’s rules and regulations.
