Are generators a problem in Lebanon?

Generators are often the only source of power, but they are polluting neighbourhoods and jeopardising health. Shawn Yuan reports from Beirut. Diesel-powered generators are ubiquitous in Lebanon.

Can a diesel generator be used in Lebanon?

Shawn Yuan reports from Beirut. Diesel-powered generators are ubiquitous in Lebanon. As big as shipping containers, as small as shoe boxes, they can be found inside buildings, by hospitals, on pavements, and on rooftops, and they are practically the only way to guarantee an electricity supply.

How many generators are there in Lebanon?

Although there are no oficial data on exactly how many generators are functioning in Lebanon, they have almost completely replaced the national grid. Generator usage is technically illegal and as a result, there is no government oversight of the resultant emissions.

Can Lebanon provide all-day electricity?

Lebanon has not been able to provide all-day electricity since the end of the 1975–90 civil war. However, following the economic crisis that began in 2019, the state power supplier, Électricité du Liban, has been able to provide electricity for less than 2 h a day to the capital city Beirut and even less in the countryside.
