Energy Minister discusses sector stability
The article discusses Minister Joe Safadi's plan to reform Lebanon's electricity sector in order to detach it from political conflicts. During a meeting of the Economic and Social Council, the challenges faced by the sector were examined, such as high production costs that meet only a third of the demand, along with waste, theft, and weak collection of revenues. Safadi presented a comprehensive action plan that includes seven pathways for developing the sector, emphasizing the importance of establishing a regulatory authority to ensure the continuity of reforms. The aim of this reform is to improve service quality, reduce Lebanon's reliance on unsustainable sources, and remove political obstacles hindering sector improvements. The council welcomed the minister's initiatives and expects these measures to help address the ongoing crisis.
