The total revenues collected at the Ministry of Electricity and Water for April 2018 to April 2019 amounted to KD 381.621 million with a collection rate of 90.9% compared to the estimated amount of KD 419.7 million during the same period, while the total revenues during the 2018/2017 budget amounted to about KD294.3 million, reported Al Anba newspaper.
According to a recent government report, the rise in revenue collection of the ministry, which amounted to 87.3 million dinars, was for electricity and water services provided to consumers.
Sources at the Ministry of Electricity and Water said that the increase in revenues is due to many reasons, including the new mechanisms and procedures that were implemented to collect payment through the offices in the six governorates, in addition to the high rates of new buildings that add to the value of electricity and water tariffs.
