Lebanon’s state power utility, Électricité du Liban, began gradually cutting electricity on Monday to public administrations, institutions and municipalities that have fallen behind on their bills. The sweeping measure covers ministries, water authorities and municipalities, and is intended to prompt them to pay their dues monthly and ensure a steady flow of revenue to the utility. The public sector owes the utility around a quarter of a billion dollars. A financial agreement spared Rafic Hariri International Airport from disconnection: it paid part of its arrears, arranged a schedule for paying the remainder and committed to settling future bills. The dues owed by the Directorate General of Civil Aviation stand at around $22.8 million. Distribution companies are disconnecting each account separately to avoid cutting power to other subscribers. The utility hopes the airport settlement will serve as a model for resolving debts owed by official bodies.
