NNA – In a statement, Electriciteacute; du Liban (EDL) announced that the last remaining production unit of the Zahrani Power Plant was forcibly shut down on Saturday due to the complete depletion of the plant#39;s gas oil reserves.nbsp;

quot;This led to a total blackout across all Lebanese territories, including essential facilities such as the airport, ports, water pumps, sewage systems, and prisons,quot; EDL affirmed.

quot;The institution will restart the units that were forcibly taken offline once it secures a supply of gas oil, and electricity will then be gradually restored to its previous levels,quot; it further confirmed.

Accordingly, Electriciteacute; du Liban will inform the citizens of any updates regarding the power supply through subsequent statements on the matter. — LBC
