To calculate the total bill, the price per kWh must be multiplied by the consumption. In addition, there is a flat rate that varies according to the maximum current delivered in amperes (A). For a maximum intensity of 5 A, the monthly flat rate has once again been increased by LL10,000, to LL120,000, up from LL110,000 from the previous month. Similarly, 10 A has also been revised upwards to LL240,000, against LL230,000 in the previous month. The ministry also imposed an increase of LL120,000 for each additional 5 A from 10 A, identical to that of the previous month.

The ministry has also maintained the specificities introduced for elevators and for common areas of buildings connected in three-phase, indicating that their fixed tariffs will be calculated on the basis of a single-phase installation. For example, if an elevator and common areas have a 15 A three-phase circuit breaker, their fixed tariffs will be calculated on the basis of a capacity of 15 A, and not 45 A, and would account for LL360,000, not LL1,080,000.

The Ministry of Energy and Water has once again called on generator owners to comply with the decision of the Ministry of Economy and Trade regarding the obligation to install meters. While this obligation implemented in 2018 is imposed on all members of this sector in principle, and not abiding by it is illegal but tolerated due to the chronic and increasingly accentuated deficiencies of the official supplier Electricité du Liban (EDL), a significant portion of them have refused to comply and continue to apply flat rates, often aligned with those of the ministry and sometimes required in dollars.
