Paid Before Power Cuts
Before cutting off electricity to municipalities, Électricité du Liban must reconcile the accounts and set off the electricity bills owed to it against the funds it collected on behalf of the municipalities, pursuant to Article 67 of Law No. 583. If the set-off covers the full debt, the financial basis for disconnection no longer exists. If the utility is still owed a balance, it must claim it in accordance with the applicable procedures and deadlines; if a balance remains owed to the municipality, it must be remitted to it. On 2 November 2026, the utility’s board announced that it would begin disconnection procedures against public entities and municipalities in arrears. This requires preparing a statement of account for each municipality and reviewing any serious dispute before a decision is made.
