Total power outage in Lebanon as grid shuts down after running out of fuel
Lebanon which is already grappling with Already skyrocketing inflation and shortage of essential items is now facing an acute power crisis due to fuel shortage.
Lebanon’s electricity grid has shut down entirely after the country’s two main power stations ran out of fuel, Sky News reported citing media reports.
The al Zahrani and the Deir Ammar power stations stopped working after supplies of diesel were apparently exhausted, and energy production dropped to below 200 megawatts, said Sky News report.
“The Lebanese power network completely stopped working at noon today, and it is unlikely that it will work until next Monday, or for several days,” an official told Sky News.
