Beirut Solar Project Aims to Slow Power Cuts
With a groundbreaking solar farm spanning a river in Beirut set to start pumping out power in a matter of weeks, Lebanon is declaring its green ambitions. But the fight to solve the country’s constant power cuts will require action on a far bigger scale. VOA's John Owens reports.

Beirut skyline turns dark amid power crisis | AFP
Lebanon was plunged into a country-wide blackout over the weekend after two main power stations went offline because they ran out of fuel. In recent months, Lebanese have only received one or two hours of state electricity a day and experience near round-the-clock power cuts. The Mediterranean nation is battling one of the planet's worst economic crises since the 1850s, and has in recent months struggled to import enough fuel oil for its power plants.

Beirut in the dark as power plants run out of fuel
(9 Oct 2021) Lebanon's two main power plants were forced to shut down after running out of fuel plunging the country into darkness on Saturday.
Lebanon is grappling with a crippling energy crisis made worse by its dependency on fuel imports.
Erratic power supplies have put hospitals and essential services in crisis mode.
The Lebanese increasingly depend on private operators that also struggle to secure supplies amid an unprecedented crash of the national currency.
The shortage of diesel and fuel, along with an antiquated infrastructure, has worsened power cuts that have been a fixture for years.
Blackouts that used to last for three to six hours could now leave entire areas with no more than two hours of state power a day.
On Saturday, the state electricity company said Zahrani...

How many hours does the power/electricity goes in Lebanon(Beirut)?
I made this video to show how Lebanese people are living now. It is unbearable. People can't sleep because of the heat and can't even work from home properly or even study. Students have been studying on candlelights.
I showed a quick scene in this video on how people are sitting on balconies and almost naked because of the heat.

Beirut Blackout. Lebanon struck by power cut
Lebanon struck by power cut as major plants shut down
'Most people face hours of total blackout'
Lebanon's two main power facilities were turned off on Friday, resulting in a near-total darkness over the country.
The outage, which was caused by the two reactors running out of fuel, exacerbates a crisis in which residents have only two hours of electricity per day.
Pharmacies have also gone on strike as a result of the failure to pay foreign importers, which has resulted in medicine shortages.
Deir Ammar and Zahrani, Lebanon's two largest power plants, which together generate roughly 40% of the country's electricity, were shut down on Friday, according to their owner Electricite Du Liban (EDL).
Two key power plants in Beirut have shut down today, leaving fuel for crucial private gener...

(9 Oct 2021) Lebanon's two main power plants were forced to shut down after running out of fuel plunging the country into darkness on Saturday.
Lebanon is grappling with a crippling energy crisis made worse by its dependency on fuel imports.
Erratic power supplies have put hospitals and essential services in crisis mode.
The Lebanese increasingly depend on private operators that also struggle to secure supplies amid an unprecedented crash of the national currency.
The shortage of diesel and fuel, along with an antiquated infrastructure, has worsened power cuts that have been a fixture for years.
Blackouts that used to last for three to six hours could now leave entire areas with no more than two hours of state power a day.
On Saturday, the state electricity company said Zahrani power plant in the country's south was forced to shut down because of fuel shortage; the main plant in the north was shut down on Thursday.
Electricite Du Liban said the shutdown reduces the total power supply to below 270 megawatts, which means a major drop in the stability of the grid.
It said it would reach out to fuel facilities in the country's north and south to see if they can procure enough fuel to bring back power.
It added that a new shipment of fuel from Iraq is expected next week.
But the company, responsible for most of the government's debts, is dependent on credit from the country's central bank, which is struggling with dwindling reserves.
The government has gradually raised prices of fuel and diesel as the central bank cut back on subsidizing dollars for imports, adding to the hardships in Lebanon, where about three quarters of the population has plunged into poverty over the last year.
With prices soaring and unemployment at a record high, many families have given up private generators and few hours of state power a day is all they get.
On Saturday, distributors of gas canisters used for cooking and heating stopped operating, saying subsidy cuts amid black-market currency fluctuations meant they were selling at a loss.
The energy sector has been a huge drain on state coffers for decades.
The electricity company has annual losses of up to $1.5 billion, and has cost the state more than $40 billion over the past decades.
Energy sector reforms have been a key demand by the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund.
To help alleviate the crisis, Lebanon has received fuel shipment from Iran via Syria.
Iraq has also made a swap deal with the government that has helped Lebanon's state electricity company stay operational for days.
The new Lebanese government is also negotiating supplies of electricity from Jordan and natural gas from Egypt, also through Syria.
But those deals are likely to take months.

Lebanon struck by power cut as major plants shut down
'Most people face hours of total blackout'
Lebanon's two main power facilities were turned off on Friday, resulting in a near-total darkness over the country.
The outage, which was caused by the two reactors running out of fuel, exacerbates a crisis in which residents have only two hours of electricity per day.
Pharmacies have also gone on strike as a result of the failure to pay foreign importers, which has resulted in medicine shortages.
Deir Ammar and Zahrani, Lebanon's two largest power plants, which together generate roughly 40% of the country's electricity, were shut down on Friday, according to their owner Electricite Du Liban (EDL).
Two key power plants in Beirut have shut down today, leaving fuel for crucial private generators in short supply; water is now being rationed as well. How much more strain can the country withstand?
The country are now facing water rationing as well.
The pumping stations are diesel-powered and lack the materials they require to operate.
Lebanon has been ravaged by an economic crisis for the past 18 months, and its currency, the Lebanese Pound, has plummeted to new lows.
Pharmacies closed their doors on Friday in protest at the shortages.
The association of pharmacy owners announced a, "general open-ended strike across Lebanon", claiming 80% of stores in the capital Beirut were shut.
In Lebanon, power outages are common; the country hasn't had uninterrupted power for decades.
People filled in the gaps by connecting to a parallel system of private generators, as state-generated power was rationed.
The entire grid fell down for the first time, leaving private generators as the only source of power.
They run on diesel, which is difficult to come by, and they just lack the capacity to totally replace state-supplied electricity.
This implies that the majority of people in Lebanon are currently experiencing long periods of absolute darkness.
Lebanon is currently facing financial and economic collapse.
The folks here are struggling to see the light at the end of the tunnel.
Lebanon faces 'disastrous' medicine shortages
A country plunged into darkness.

Fire fighters arrived at the plant to try to control the huge flames but said they didn't have enough water and appealed on Lebanese radio for people who own water tankers in the area to rush to help.
