The article discusses the financial and administrative crisis currently facing the Lebanon Electric Corporation and its impact on the deteriorating state of electricity in the country. It explains that disputes between the electricity company and the operating company during 2021—particularly over payment for maintenance and spare parts—led the General Manager to refuse to settle these dues based on a decision from the Ministry of Justice and the Legislative Authority. This decision sparked criticism and publicized attacks from the media against him. Additionally, the article highlights that the cost of generating electricity remains high compared to the income of Lebanese citizens, with financial recovery suffering due to multiple practices by regions that refuse to pay, as well as delays in payments from government institutions and Palestinian camps. Despite all these challenges, General Manager Kamel Hayek remains steadfast, even after being injured during the Beirut port explosion. His continued leadership symbolizes a strong determination to keep the institution operational despite ongoing crises, economic hardships, and security challenges.
