Electricity officials deny plans
The article addressed the electricity crisis in Lebanon, where the Lebanese government failed to implement an effective and sustainable rationing system despite previous statements and promises. Lebanon continues to suffer from power outages that amount to about four hours daily, due to accumulated financial dues owed to the Electricité du Liban and rising oil prices, in addition to the government's insistence on refusing to increase tariffs or import electricity from abroad. Despite multiple hikes in tariffs and fees, the crisis persisted, prompting the relevant ministries to request new payments of $217 million from public institutions. Meanwhile, solutions and statements remained postponed, and the Lebanese Forces party emphasized that the truth can be summarized in the phrase "We neither want nor are able"—a reflection of ongoing crisis and deteriorating service.
