How to read/check Electricity Bill in Saudi Arabia and Subscribe to Bill Notification from SEC (Saudi Electricity Company) – Step by Step Guide with Snapshots (Updated)

1. First you would have to find the ‘Bill Number’ of your residence. This number can be located on the paper bill you would receive at your residence. The location of the bill number on the paper bill is in front of the 1st field on top right which states ‘’ (This is the reference number for all bills   issued by the Company for each customer and all financial operations and processes related to him including the issuance of bills, settlements, payments, connection fees, and meter provision charges. By virtue of the customer’s number, it will be possible to know the due balance against / in favor of the customer, the advance amount, the monthly average consumption rate, or the history of billing, collections, disconnection notices, and number of actual disconnections as well as the information about the customer and his meter.)

2. The numbers are written in Arabic, to translate them into English use the following table:


3. Your total Bill is written on left bottom in a pink colored box in front of the field which states ‘image’ (This represents the amount to be paid by the customer to the Company against electric energy consumption, metering tariff, and the previous balance, if any.)

4. The billing month is mentioned on the top left box
means Starting Date of Meter Reading
means Closing Date of Meter Reading
This is the time period (from/to) during which actual consumption takes place (Kw/h).
A little down, means the date on which the electricity would be disconnected if bill payment is not done by then (This date is entered in case that the customer does not pay the value of consumption as per the latest payment date (deadline) shown on the bill . In this case the electricity will be temporarily disconnected till Company dues are paid.)

5. This bill is calculated and charged based on Islamic Calendar, which is Hijri Calendar. To convert from Gregorian to Hijri you can goto http://www.islamicfinder.org/Hcal/index.php
