Thursday, March 30, 2017

The ministry of electricity and water said that the new power and water charges on apartments will come into effect from Aug 22. Three months earlier, the new rates become effective on the commercial sector. The new rates apply on government offices from late November and on the industrial and agricultural sectors in February next year.

The ministry said in a statement that the new rates on shops and apartments will be 5 fils per kilowatt instead of the existing rate of 2 fils a kilowatt. Kuwaiti citizens are exempted from the increase.

NJ Saturday, April 1, 2017 Better to make a decision not to issue any visa to expats..!!!
Jacob koshy Thursday, March 30, 2017 @xpat Western countries have closed borders and have limited intake. All those who were waiting till the last minute are going to be disappointed.
Xpat Thursday, March 30, 2017 We (expats) will have to dig deep our pockets. As of my knowledge no country in the world has segregated/exempted their citizens from electricity/water hike. Kuwait is the first country in the world who has projected discrimination even in the hike of water/electricity rates. What a way of extracting money from expats!!! Kuwait should keep in mind that expats will not be here forever, whenever the situation deteriorates expats will start leaving this country to their home country or migrate to western countries for better living standards. Hike in infrastructure - Water, Electricity should be equal to all irrespective of nationality/race.
