❓ الأسئلة القانونية الشائعة (FAQ)
How is the Électricite du Liban (EDL) tariff structured?
Under EDL’s revised tariff model, residential consumption is billed in USD (payable in LBP at the Sayrafa / official platform rate): Tier 1 (1 to 100 kWh) is billed at 10 US cents per kWh; Tier 2 (consumption exceeding 100 kWh) is billed at 27 US cents per kWh.
What are the fixed capacity and meter fees charged by EDL?
EDL charges a fixed monthly capacity charge based on connection amperage (typically ~$21 per month for a standard 15-20 Amp residential meter), plus meter rental and stamp duties.
How are private neighborhood generator (Ishtirak) bills determined in Lebanon?
Private neighborhood diesel generators are monitored by the Ministry of Energy and Water (MoEW), which issues a monthly regulated kWh tariff based on international diesel fuel prices and operational costs, plus a fixed capacity fee (e.g., 5A or 10A breaker fee).
Can EDL bills be paid in Lebanese Pounds?
Yes. While EDL tariffs are calculated in US Dollars to hedge against currency devaluation and fuel procurement costs, invoices are payable in Lebanese Pounds at the prevailing official Banque du Liban platform exchange rate.
What is the rehabilitation fee on EDL invoices?
EDL applies a monthly fixed grid maintenance and rehabilitation surcharge included in the fixed connection fees to cover network line maintenance and transformer operations.
