Outstanding electricity bills owed by the Palestinian camps in Lebanon are estimated at between $60 million and $70 million, with no official data establishing the final amount and no regular collection mechanism. UNRWA refuses to pay bills for individual consumption outside its own facilities, while previous arrangements for collecting payments have stalled. These included a Palestinian proposal to collect $5 a month per home and $10 per shop, and to install meters at larger facilities. The demands have raised fears of power cuts, despite limited electricity supply and high levels of poverty and unemployment. Officials and experts are calling for a system to collect payments that takes refugees’ circumstances into account, alongside reform of the electricity sector, rather than cutting off the service.
