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. Tripoli and El-Mina sit on the coast near sea level, so the standard rate applies — generators above 700 metres or in rural mountain areas are allowed to add 10%.

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.
