Lebanese Electricity cuts public power over debts
Lebanon's Electricity Institution has announced the start of implementing the decision to cut off power supply to government departments, public institutions, and municipalities that have failed to settle their dues, following the expiration of the deadline they were given to regularize their status. This step comes amid accumulated debts exceeding $218 million, which include water authorities, ministries, and public agencies. Some entities, such as the Lebanese Army and the Beirut and Mount Lebanon Water Authority, have already paid their dues. Experts consider this measure necessary to ensure the sustainability of Electricité du Liban and improve its financial situation, emphasizing the importance of public institutions fulfilling their payment obligations to avoid a deterioration of services, despite concerns that power outages may lead to decreased productivity in these entities.
