1. What is a DEWA Connection Cost Calculator?

Definition: This calculator estimates the total cost for connecting to Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (DEWA) services.

Purpose: It helps property owners and developers estimate the upfront costs for new utility connections.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the formula:

\[ Cost = Fixed + (Variable \times Load) \]

Where:

\( Fixed \) — Base connection fee (AED)
\( Variable \) — Cost per kVA (AED/kVA)
\( Load \) — Required electrical load (kVA)

Explanation: The total cost includes a fixed connection fee plus a variable cost based on the required electrical capacity.

3. Importance of DEWA Cost Calculation

Details: Accurate cost estimation helps in budgeting for new property connections and comparing different load options.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter the fixed connection fee (default 1000 AED), variable cost per kVA (default 20 AED/kVA), and required load in kVA. All values must be ≥ 0 (load must be > 0).
