    Bassil has been energy minister for too many years but has done nothing.  Power supply keeps getting worse.

      The country only produces about half of what it needs now … the power station can’t make any more.
       Importing is the only short-term answer … and people keep stealing the wires. 😉

      Making more requires a real plan … and some ‘green’ energy methods can be had sooner than building new plants.
      Many Germans have solar panels on their roof, and feed into a grid-system which helps the WHOLE country.
      And they don’t have as much sun …..

        I wonder if you pulled the plug to Syria if you’d notice any difference??

    Go for it Basil, previous governments were occupied by the so called STL. I hope this government will finally do something for the people. Every pole in Lebanon should have a solar panel on it, this reduces the voltage at the node and in turn it makes the power plants use less energy to produce the same K watts. This is a great first step if you can you prevent theft and that is a big IF.

      lol, you’ll need LOTS of solar panels in order to meet the lacking electrical requirements….solar panels = total waste of money and space.

        Solar panels do not produce enough power but it reduces the voltage which reduces the fuel needed. The only issue is the theft of the panels.
