The following statement was issued by the Committee for Regulating the Generator Sector:

- Owners of private electric generators must adhere to the unified kilowatt tariff issued by the Ministry of Energy for the month of June, which is 41,973 L.L. per kilowatt-hour, provided that the generator feeds for no less than 12 hours a day. If the feeding hours exceed 17 hours, the price becomes 50,000 L.L. per kilowatt-hour, calculated based on an average dollar rate of 89,500 L.L.

- For subscribers with meters, the fixed subscription fee is set at 385,000 L.L. for 5-amp capacity and 685,000 L.L. for 10-amp capacity, with an additional 300,000 L.L. for every extra 5 amps.

- Regarding elevators and shared sections using three-phase capacities (Triphase), the generator owner should calculate the fixed part of the tariff based on single-phase capacity (monophase). For example, if the elevator and shared sections subscribe with a three-phase breaker of 3×15 amps, the fixed part should be calculated based on 15 amps, not 45 amps, meaning 985,000 L.L. instead of 2,785,000 L.L.
