Lebanon in Blackout After Zahrani Power Plant Shutdown Amid Fuel Shortage
Aug 17, 2024, 01:59 PM
Lebanon has been plunged into a nationwide blackout following the shutdown of the Zahrani Power Plant's last operational unit on Saturday. The shutdown occurred due to a complete depletion of gas oil reserves, leading to a total power outage across the country. This blackout has affected vital infrastructure, including airports, ports, and water pumps. The Lebanese Electricity Company confirmed that the supply of electricity to the national grid has been halted, citing a major fuel shortage as the cause. The power outage has left the entire country, including essential facilities, without electricity.
