This is the legal maximum the Ministry of Energy and Water set for May 2026. The tariff changes every month with diesel prices — check the latest below.

The ministry’s table could not be read just now, so this is the last figure we checked by hand — the tariff for May 2026. The links below have the current one.

Worth knowing

The official tariff is a ceiling, not a fixed price

Each month the Ministry of Energy and Water publishes a maximum the generator can charge per kilowatt-hour, plus the fixed monthly fee for your amperage. An operator may charge less than the ceiling, but charging more is against the rules. Generators above 700 metres or in rural mountain areas are allowed to add 10%; Khiam sits at roughly 700–800 metres on the edge of the Marjeyoun plain, so it is right on that line — see the toggle below.

Operators are now meant to bill by the meter

After thousands of complaints, the government's 2025 crackdown on generator overcharging requires operators to install a meter for each subscriber and bill by the kilowatt-hour, not a flat guess. If your operator has not installed a meter, that is part of what the rules were meant to fix.
