Good News for South and Bekaa Residents: Electricity Returns to Previous Levels

The National Litani River Authority announced that, in cooperation with Électricité du Liban (EDL), works to transport, equip, and connect a 20 MVA, 66 kV/15 kV transformer at the Paul Arqash station have been completed. The new transformer has been put into service, replacing the one that malfunctioned during recent weeks.

Consequently, starting today, electricity supply returns to its normal rates as they were before the outage. Supply resumes to towns benefiting from the Ouli station outputs in Jezzine, Iqlim al-Tuffah, Iqlim al-Kharroub, Al-Reihan, and Upper Chouf areas, according to previous feeding schedules and in coordination with EDL.

The Authority clarified that the supply to these towns, as well as to villages in West Bekaa and Rashaya, relies exclusively on the production of the Authority's hydroelectric plants, without contribution from thermal power plants.

The Authority indicated that, in coordination with EDL, feeding hours will increase in accordance with any rise in hydroelectric production enabled by increased precipitation and water inflows.
