Reported capacity is the rated size of the listed installations, not electricity being produced now. Source dates and coverage differ, so newer facilities may be absent and historical records may remain.
How electricity works in Lebanon
Vertically integrated utilityOne utility does everything
EDL supplies only a few hours a day; private diesel generators and rooftop solar fill the gap.

TransmissionState utility
DistributionState utility
CustomersGovernment-set tariffs
Who regulates
No separate independent regulator is listed: the government or the utility itself sets tariffs and technical rules.
No power exchange: the utility produces or buys electricity and sells it at set tariffs.
Regional grid
Not part of a larger synchronous grid or regional power pool.
What does “Vertically integrated utility” mean?
A single, usually state-owned utility generates, transmits and distributes electricity. Prices are set or approved by the government or a regulator rather than by a market.
