Generator invoice review and September prices
The Ministry of Energy and Water announced the private generator rates for September 2026, emphasizing that it is not permissible to impose additional fees on subscribers under the pretext of maintenance or the use of solar energy. The fair electricity rate from generators has been set at 52,840 Lebanese Lira per kilowatt-hour in cities and communities situated at elevations below 700 meters, with a fixed fee ranging from 385,000 to 685,000 Lira depending on the subscription (5 or 10 amps). In areas above 700 meters, the rate is 58,124 Lira per kilowatt-hour, with additional charges for every 5-amp increase. The rate is based on the September fuel oil sheet price of 2,675,217 Lira, including costs, profits, and a profit margin, using the average parallel market dollar rate of 89,700 Lira. The ministry called for strict adherence to meter installation and for the prohibition of illegal taxes or fees. It also reaffirmed that adding value-added tax or other charges under the guise of maintenance is not permissible, and emphasized increased oversight on violators.
