As per the agreement terms, the department assesses beneficiaries' actual monthly power consumption, granting the Dhs400 subsidy to qualifying individuals.

Additionally, SEWA commits to refraining from disconnecting electricity in homes housing elderly or disabled individuals reliant on essential electrical appliances. This action aligns with the "Let’s Connect Them" initiative, further supported by the department, which prioritizes energy and water efficiency measures for nominated families, thereby curbing utility costs.
