Al-Tayyar Denies Electricity Paper Claims

The article presents a clarification from the Energy Committee of the Free Patriotic Movement regarding inaccuracies and steps related to Lebanon's electricity plan. It explains that the announced document heavily relies on artificial intelligence and lacks a clear executive program, budget, and specific implementation phases. It also emphasizes that the law grants the Minister of Energy the authority to issue policies; however, the current document has relinquished and neglected that authority, instead focusing on privatizing production through small-scale networks. This approach paves the way for neighborhood generators and allows private influence to take precedence over citizens' needs. Furthermore, it notes that supporting vulnerable groups is the government's responsibility and that previous subsidies led to budget deficits, criticizing the positions of political parties on this issue. The article also points out that the document ignores essential detailed plans such as projects, contracts, studies, and financing strategies, confirming the absence of any practical steps or clear figures aimed at improving electricity supply. It calls for the continuation of the current energy plan instead of hindering it and advocates returning to long-term projects aimed at providing 24/7 electricity.
