Unpaid bills risk outages
Lebanon’s state electricity utility began implementing its decision on Monday, November 2, 2026, to cut power to government departments, public institutions and municipalities that had failed to pay their outstanding bills and had not contacted the utility to settle their accounts. The deadline had passed, and repeated warnings had been issued. The decision also covers independent agencies, including water utilities, but excludes public hospitals. The Civil Aviation Directorate pledged to make an immediate payment and arrange a schedule for the remaining balance to avoid a power cut at Beirut–Rafic Hariri International Airport. The utility did not identify the entities whose power had been cut, say how many there were or disclose the amount owed. It said the details would be released in a later statement.
