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.

Why the village rate, not the town rate

The ministry sets two per-kilowatt-hour rates. The lower one is for subscribers in cities and dense built-up areas below 700 metres. The higher one — about 10% more — is for subscribers in villages, in spread-out areas, or above 700 metres; any one of those three is enough to put you in the higher band. Mazraat El Mechref sits at about 395 metres, but it is a village of scattered houses, so the higher rate is the ceiling that applies here. For July 2026 that is 44,821 LBP per kilowatt-hour, against 40,746 in the towns. The fixed monthly fee for each amperage is the same in both bands.
