As temperatures continue to range between 40 to 50 degrees Celsius across the UAE, some residents have reported an increase in electricity bills during the summer months.
Residents across Dubai, Sharjah, and Abu Dhabi say their monthly electricity usage has increased, in some cases doubling or tripling compared to winter or spring months. This rise is due to prolonged use of air conditioning, increased cooling needs, and more frequent use of household appliances such as washing machines, irons, and microwave ovens.
