The Information Office of the Energy Ministry issued a statement on Friday calling on citizens to refrain from paying any additional fee to power generator owners.
"Some private generator owners have been adding extra fees to the fixed rate issued by the Energy Ministry under the pretext of covering additional costs resulting from USD exchange differences," the statement said.
The Energy Ministry's statement went on to ask citizens who are subjected to these practices to report immediately to the competent authorities, especially the Ministry of Economy and Trade.
"The Ministry has temporarily allowed power generator owners to purchase their fuel from oil companies in Tripoli and Zahrani in Lebanese pounds," the statement added, denying claims of any additional costs resulting from the dollar exchange difference.
