Report: Lebanon Might Witness Improved Power Supply
The Electricity of Lebanon has completed a plan that would increase energy production after raising the capabilities of two Turkish power generating vessels that supply Lebanon with power, al-Joumhouria daily reported on Friday.
“EDL concluded a plan that would increase power supply by about 100 megawatts after raising the production capacities of the two ships that lie off the Zahrani and Zouk power plants from 280 megawatts to 380 megawatts,” an informed source to the daily on condition of anonymity.
“The experimental steps have been concluded and the increase in production was put into implementation a few days ago,” they added.
The daily pointed out to a possibility to renew the contracts with the working ships for another two years until the current maintenance procedures in the Jiyeh, Zouk and Deir Ammar plants are complete.
Lebanon signed deals with the Turkish vessels some three years ago to provide it with electricity through power-generating vessels.
The country is plagued with a power shortage crisis compelling it to manage its limited supply with a combination of rationing and privately owned generator power.

Misleading article. The increased power is coming from the 2 temporary ships that are polluting the environment and not from permanent power production or solar power plants. What happened to the more than $1.2 billion that Bassil got to provide the country with year round electricity... Shame on every Lebanese that accepts to live under these blood sucking corrupt politicians and mafias.

Even windmills on the slopes of the whole mountain range will produce enough power.

and sajaan qazzi rejects the idea of installing electricity meters in syrian refugee camps for fear of naturalization.

He does not care! He insisted on $1.2 billion when the cost at the time should have been $800 million. He also insisted on negotiated tender and not public tender. All he talks about is Christian rights and Syrian naturalization so people forget his thieving schemes.

Of course there were no power shortages during the Syrian occupation coz there was no power at all.

Fadi, these traitors are filled with religious hatred. They still live in the middle ages and will always do.
Notice how they use vague terms such as "power output will be improved" wtf does that mean exactly?? Are they that incompetent that they cannot come up with a plan for 100% electricity??? Oh yeah of course they cant do that because all of them are benifiting from the rape of our state "us and our future generations" through the power generator mafia. Go ask zahle how to get 24 hr electricity!! Yalla gallops!!!
