Energy Ministry Developments
The article addresses the administrative and economic situation of the Ministry of Energy in Lebanon, focusing on its history and past and current policies. It explains how Lebanon is not an oil and gas producer, which places significant burdens on its economy and increases challenges amid market fluctuations. Particularly, administrative deterioration has led to gaps and a decline in the effectiveness of the oil sector and energy projects. It notes that previous policies were transparent and aimed at regulating and revitalizing the sector, but since the early 1990s, the problem has deepened due to policies emphasizing privatization and administrative red tape, resulting in accumulated losses and failures to implement comprehensive energy strategies. The prevailing approach remains non-scientific and untechnical, threatening the sector’s productivity and increasing the risks of privatization and monopolization. This situation causes suffering among citizens regarding the availability and cost of electricity and fuel, with social anger mounting over the poor conditions.
