Generator Bill Checker
See what your generator bill should be at this month's official tariff — and check whether you're being overcharged.
Like the rest of Lebanon, the village runs on a neighbourhood diesel generator when the state grid is off, on a subscription priced by amperage. The Ministry of Energy and Water sets a maximum price each month. Put in what you used and see what the bill should be — and check whether you are being charged over the official ceiling.
Read it off your generator meter, or from the kWh figure on your last bill.

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, tied to the price of diesel, plus the fixed monthly fee for your amperage. An operator may charge less than the ceiling, but charging more is against the rules. The village sits below 700 metres, so the standard rate applies — generators above 700 metres or in rural mountain areas may add 10%.
