Al-Litani Power Output in August
The article discusses the production of hydroelectric power plants in Lebanon during August 2026, where the total output was approximately 33 million kilowatt-hours. This production mainly relied on the reservoir of Lake Qaraoun, which experienced a complete halt in water flow from the Litani River. The report indicates that the amount of water used totaled about 21 million cubic meters, of which 19 million cubic meters were allocated for electricity generation, with the remaining water lost due to natural evaporation and the diversion of Ain Zrqa Water for irrigation. By the end of August, the lake’s storage was around 91 million cubic meters, with a necessary reserve of 50 million cubic meters as a strategic stock. This leaves 41 million cubic meters available for use in the remaining months of the year. Based on this, the National Authority plans to reprogram energy production in the upcoming months by reducing operational capacity from over 40 megawatts to 30 megawatts, to ensure continued production while preserving the strategic stock. The Authority emphasizes that energy production management will remain balanced between optimizing water resource investment and ensuring the sustainability of the storage.
