Lebanese economic bodies discussed electricity-sector reform and sustainability with Nasseb Nasr, head of Électricité du Liban, and World Bank expert Mohammad Zakaria Qamh. The discussions covered reducing waste, improving bill collection, and developing the grid and power generation. Nasr said that cutting electricity to public institutions in arrears had brought in $28 million of the $298 million owed. A Qatari project aims to increase generation by about 2,980 megawatts, while using gas could reduce generation costs by 25 to 30 percent. A $250 million World Bank loan includes establishing a control center, upgrading the grid, and rehabilitating the Litani power plants, alongside financial and institutional reforms. The economic bodies affirmed their support for implementing these measures to ensure a more regular and sustainable electricity supply.
