Lebanon’s two biggest power stations, Al-Zahrani and Deir Ammar, shutdown on Saturday due to fuel shortage as energy production fell to less than 200 megawatts.

The two main power plants were switched off, plunging the country into absolute darkness, with the Electricité Du Liban helplessly trying to carry out maneuvers to manually rebuild the grid amid the absence of the national control center which was totally destroyed during the Beirut Port explosion.
