- 5 amp capacity: 120,000 L.L. + Monthly installment X 16,350 L.L for every kilowatt hour.
- 10 Amp capacity: 240,000 L.L. + Monthly installment X 16,350 L.L for every kilowatt hour.
For subscribers in villages or distant areas or at an altitude of more than 700 meters: 17.985 L.L. per kilowatt hour.
- 5 amp capacity: 120,000 L.L. (fixed) + monthly lump sum X 17.985 L.L. for every kilowatt hour.
- 10 Amp capacity: 240,000 L.L. (Fixed) + monthly lump sum X 17.985 L.L. for every kilowatt hour.
The ministry noted that an additional 120,000 L.L. is added to the fixed portion of the metered price for every additional 5 amperes.
It pointed out that this tariff is based on the average price of a diesel fuel tank (20 liters) in September of 809.467 pounds, after calculating all the expenses, benefits, and costs of generators, in addition to a good profit margin for its owners.
