  • Electricity consumption in Lebanon

Need a help of geeks :-)

Short survey, if you can answer please.

How much KwH per month your household consume?
Do you have heaters, AC's?
How much sq.m ur apartment and how much people living?
How much is your monthly bill?

If somebody can answer, at least some questions, will be great :)
1- I don't know the first answer sorry and I don't have any bills handy but when I do, i'll post back with the answer.

2- ACs mainly, used for heating as well: 3x 8000BTU
3- 130m2, 3.5 (baby) living.
4- between 100,000L.L and 150,000L.L (Peaks during maximum cold or maximum hot days)

Some other info you might need:
- Our water heater is always on as it is automatic.
- We have a 40A subscription.
- I installed a monitor that shows me how much Amps I'm consuming at any point in time. Normally we peak at 25A when 3 ACs are on and the heater is on. If the entire house is on, 3 TVs, all ACs, microwave, heater, lights, computers and so on, we'd go over 30A

If you have any other question, go ahead and ask.
How much do you pay for local power generators? How much on average do they shut off mains.
I live in Canada but I shall still share my info.

1. Max is 1300 kwh in the summer and min is 600 kwh (spring and fall where we sometimes do not need the heater nor the AC.)

2. AC runs on electricity. Heater runs on natural gas. The house is very well insulated though. (building code)

3. 185 square meter + a basement = 370 sq. meters.

4. Bill is $100 min and $180 max. We have time-of-use rates though meaning electricity is cheaper during off-peak times and much more expensive during high-peak times.

The project we live in has its own generator which we paid over the years. I believe it's 300KVA. At the moment, we pay around 70$ for 10A. Yes its cheap.

I don't really keep track of how much it shuts off because it's automatic. I presume on average, the generator is on around 10 hours per day.
1. N/A
2. Both.
3. 950 m2, 3.
4. LL200 000 min, LL600 000 max
Answer to questions 1 and 4 is "Too much"

Couple month ago, 195$ for 10A.
Now, 120$ for 10A due to force reduction in prices from municipalities.
