The executive director of the customer service department at Abu Dhabi Distribution Company said consumers who commit to consumption limits will continue to receive government subsidies.
Abdul Aziz Al Shamsi said the initial fee increase was meant to control monthly consumption and encourage conservation.
In a statement to Al Ittihad, the Arabic-language sister newspaper of The National, he stressed the need to raise awareness about conservation in order to preserve resources.
He said ADCC is in the process of issuing guidelines for water and electricity consumption and the best ways to ensure sustainability of resources.
