Dubai: Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (Dewa) is switching to electronic bills from April 1.

Customers will no longer receive paper bills via post.

The move comes as part of Dewa’s push towards environment-friendly and smart digital services. The new Green Bill will be an electronic version of the paper bill that can be viewed on the registered customer’s email, Dewa smart mobile app and website.

Emails and texts have been sent out to alert customers about the switch. Customers can sign up for the Green Bill on customer.dewa.gov.ae.

According to the Dewa website, it had 677,751 electricity consumers and 605,178 water consumers in 2014 — all of whom will be sent Green Bills starting from Wednesday.
