Post: Energy Minister: Zahrani plant to resume operation at midnight

Caretaker Energy and Water Minister, Dr. Walid Fayyad, confirmed in an interview with LBCI Network this morning that, before midnight, the Zahrani plant will be restarted, with a reduced capacity that may reach 150 megawatts, after it was supplied with about 2,000 tons of diesel from the Zahrani facilities as a first stage. He added that another 2,000 tons will be supplied in the coming few days, indicating that "this measure allows for the stability of the network and the supply of vital facilities with electricity, most notably the airport, for a week, in the hope that the Board of Directors of the Electricité du Liban will decide on securing additional quantities of gas oil."
