Public sector power cuts begin for overdue payments
The Lebanon Electricity Company has begun implementing its decision to cut off power to government bodies, institutions, and municipalities that are overdue on their payments, after the deadline had passed. As a result, electricity has been disconnected from several entities, including the Ministry of Public Works, Social Security, and the Land Registry. The Lebanese Army and the Beirut and Mount Lebanon Water Authorities have proactively settled their dues. Efforts are underway to address the situation of the South Lebanon Water Establishment, which was affected due to previous exemptions resulting from the war. The total overdue payments owed by Lebanese institutions and ministries amount to approximately $135.62 million. The largest debtors include the South, North, and Beirut Water Authorities, as well as ministries such as Communications, Finance, and Education. Significant arrears also remain for the Civil Aviation Directorate, the Army, and the Internal Security Forces. This situation reflects a worsening financial crisis within the Lebanese public sector.
