Lebanese Forces questions electricity surplus from Turkey
The article discusses Lebanese Minister of Energy and Water, Joe Ouesli's, visit to Turkey to explore the possibility of importing electricity from there. This comes after the failure of plans to import electricity via Cyprus and overland through Syria, which are considered impractical due to their high costs or the need for Syria's local energy resources. The Advisory Energy Committee of the Free Patriotic Movement indicates that the project to import electricity from Turkey via ships could have saved over $650 million annually and would have provided Lebanese citizens with an additional four hours of power supply each day. The committee calls for transparency in revealing the actual savings for citizens and Lebanon’s Electricity Corporation ("ELECTRICITY Lebanon") from this option. They also criticize the government for not honestly informing the public about the numbers and scientific standards, especially after the ministry's failure to achieve tangible results, worsening the crisis with the fuel oil shortage, increased power outages, and the extent of darkness due to widespread blackouts.
