Generators drain Lebanese resources

The article addresses the crisis of rising prices for private generators in Lebanon, where increased electricity bills are one of the most pressing issues troubling Lebanese citizens. Official sources indicate that the pricing of generators depends on the cost of diesel and the exchange rate of the dollar, with an added profit margin of 10%. However, generator owners claim that they are not making actual profits and emphasize that the rise in diesel prices is the main reason behind the higher bills. Official figures state that approximately 80% of the production cost is attributed to diesel prices, and that prices are adjusted to reflect fluctuations in the global market. Authorities are calling on generator owners to adhere to the official pricing, while some owners propose a partnership plan with the state to provide 24/7 service in exchange for a unified bill; however, this plan has not yet been implemented. Ultimately, citizens continue to pay high bills, juggling between public electricity and private generators, amid ongoing questions about the justification for the increases and the true cost of energy in Lebanon.
