Lebanese Energy Minister resigns over power dispute
The Lebanese Ministry of Energy and Water has reported that Minister of Energy, Jo Petty, has abstained from attending Cabinet meetings in protest of the government's failure to respond to proposals aimed at addressing Lebanon's electricity crisis. He explained that the crisis is worsening due to rising fuel costs and the government's delay in implementing the proposed reform measures to ensure a continuous electricity supply, including adopting a variable pricing system and covering electricity costs for those affected. This escalation occurs amid ongoing reliance on private generators and the sector's suffering from increasing expenses, as reform efforts continue and warnings grow of the problem's potential escalation.
