I cancelled mine 2 days ago. Go to your area MEW office. I live in sharq so I had to go to the shuwaikh branch. They work 9-1pm. But due to ramadan, timing is 10-2pm. Make sure the account holder is with you too. (The electricity connection was on my mother''s name, so she had to come) Also, take an iban number letter from the account holders bank, so that the officer can sign and enter your iban number to a letter that returns your deposit. You need to get this special letter from the bank, else they won''t give your deposit back. Take also your meter readings on the day you go. The officer will ask and calculate your bill. Pay electricity and baladiya bills. The officer will give you a clearance letter and letters to get your deposit back.
Your supposed to take this letter to south surra MEW office where they can initiate the return of the deposit. This can take upto 2 months to get to your account. I hear you can contact a bengali there, pay him 25 kd and get it done that day itself.
Ive been told they give a period of 2-3 weeks after which they''ll disconnect the line. However I also hear they don''t.
Also note : Some people said I had to take appointment but the appointment I got via the MEW site was for 2:30 in the afternoon. 1 went there at that time and the security guy said the appointments are only for the head office (in south surra I think)
So next day I went there at 10 am. But the employees came to work only at 11:30am.

Even if you cancel your electricity connection, the electricity will not get cut. The billing will start being done in the owner''''s name instead of in your name.

I had to leave Kuwait 22May2021. I live in abbasiya. Step1: I took meter reading photo on my mobile on 3May2021, went to Classic Typing Center at 10am. Charges KD 2.5
You must submit below docs to Classic Typing- 1. Meter reading (photo) 2. Application form (they type it for you) 3. IBAN letter (To transfer deposit of KD 125 to bank account, get this letter on Bank Letterhead & stamped) 4. Civil ID copy.
They give u all docs, go to AbdullahMubarak district MEW.Classic Typing also log into your flat’s online MEW account and do online request to MEW for closing electric. This is linked to your mobile so youget SMS for every step done by MEW to track process.
Step 2: I went to MEW office AbdullaMubarak with all docs on 4th May 2021 at 10am.Due to covid, the security person takes the docs inside and your Deposit Receipt of KD125.After 20min, you get SMS for payment of outstanding dues.You pay immediately online &confirm to him. He gives you the receipt.Wait 10 min he gives NOC for ZERO dues.This document is sufficient to leave Kuwait. But if you want deposit KD 125,continue to next step.
Security gives you all doc back with NOC (zero dues), IBAN letter & original deposit KD 125 receipt.
Step3: I went South Surra office (behind PACI office) on same day 11am (Ramadan time closed at 1pm). I told security I did not have an appointment, but need to close electric account to leave Kuwait.He let me inside.Otherwise you can take appointment for South Surra from Classic Typing.
Take a token. They take all your docs& give you 1 small square receipt &tell you to check after 2 months for the money in your bank account. The process is over here.
If you are in urgent need to get the deposit, you can contact Iqbal (Bangali) in that office. Ask any tea boy there for Iqbal. He took my square receipt paper, told me to call him next day. He took 2 days to give me the cheque for KD 125. He takes a small fee when he gives you the final cheque.Deposit it in your bank, it is cleared in 24 hrs.

They dont cut the electricity. Talk to you haris and tell him your last date of vacating flat, and to keep meter on. He will have access to the meter, which will work always actually. MEW doesnt control that switching off abd on. But dont stay beyond 21 days to be safe.
After you settle your dues in local MEW officer, they give you a letter that states you have zero dues. It reads 000.000 KD. So take a copy of all these documents (ifffff immigration asks for seeing it). This letter is your NOC.
