باخرة الطاقة "أورهان باي" جاهزة "كليا" لتوليد الطاقة بعد ربطها بمعمل الجية

أعلنت شركة "كارادنيز باور شيب" التركية المشغلة لبواخر الطاقة في لبنان الخميس انه "بعد رسو باخرة الطاقة ORHAN BEY قبالة معمل الجية الحراري في 12 آب الماضي، تم إنهاء عملية ربطها بالشبكة اللبنانية، وهي جاهزة كليا لتوليد الطاقة".

وبحسب بيان للشركة صدر الثلاثاء "ستوفر الباخرة الثانية أكثر من 82 ميغاواط من الطاقة للمعمل التابع لشركة كهرباء لبنان، وذلك في إطار مشروع طاقة الصداقة".

كذلك "سوف يتم توفير المزيد من الطاقة الكهربائية على الشبكة المحلية بما ينعكس إيجابيا على وضع التغذية بالتيار الكهربائي في لبنان.

وفي هذا المجال أكدت الشركة المشغلة "أنه في حضور ممثلين عن شركة كهرباء لبنان وخبراء دوليين محايدين، تم إنجاز تجارب ناجحة (اليوم الثلاثاء) على المولدات وأنظمة الربط الموجودة على متن الباخرة، وقد تم التأكد من قدرتها على توليد وتوصيل التيار الكهربائي بكفاءة عالية".

وكانت قد توقفت أول باخرة "فاطمة غول" بسبب تزويدها "شحنات فيول غير ملائمة" لكنها عادت لتنتج التيار بشكل متواصل ومن دون انقطاع لصالح الشبكة اللبنانية في 4 حزيران الماضي.

وسوف يتمكن المشروع من تغذية الشبكة ب270 ميغاواط في وقت ستعمل الدولة على تأهيل وحدات الانتاج في المعامل القديمة في غضون السنوات الثلاث المقبلة.

Start to build one or two (at least) power stations which will be run on natural gas.
At the speed the Lebanese economy works they will both be ready at the same time, in about 20 years.

flamecatcher: please don't flaunt your ignorance so loudly, even for you it is vulgar.

there is a plan to upgrade and build power plants, but during the works, the electricity output will be reduced because the plants will have to be shut down. the boats are here to avoid making an already dire situation even worse, and will stay until works are completed.

and yes, not just "some" but a LOT of people criticize hariri, for he sunk hundreds of billions of dollars without even leaving us with a decent electricity network nor any infrastructure to speak of. the only visible result was the gulf-owned downtown and hariri's swollen pockets.
(yes i said HUNDREDS OF BILLIONS because the 50Bn debt is just a residue. people forget there were also billions in tax/customs/ and other state income every year, during over a decade)

be that as it may, the ships are a waste of money. they will be producing 270 megawatts of electricity as the article says which will coincidentally be the same amount of electricity the two plants will produce after they are rehabilitated. So, iow, there will be the same amount of power produced with the same number of power cuts after these ships leave service. So, nothing really gained for the price.

Additionally, EDL should be privatized. it is the epitome of the failure of the lebanese state as it loses almost a half billion dollars per month mainly to inefficient plants and theft (people not paying bills, stealing electricity and equipment). A private company would care about theft and would be more willing to do something about it and it would have flexibility in building new power plants that government can't do.

For people talking about wasting money and whatnot.
Here's the situation.
The ships are just here as a temporary measure until the Zouk and Jiyeh plants are upgraded to use gas and until other powerp lants are built.

They are here for additional support until other plants are done.

samiam, what would be more profitable for the state though? Privatization or it remaining a public asset?

That's funny, I come from a shia populated town and everyone pays their electricity bill. The meter reader that comes is Christian, now go ask him whether your lying bs is true or not.

EDL provides revenue for the state, about a third of it. That's cash which they use to pay salaries and other government obligations; however, it keeps increasing our national debt by $6Billion a year. No matter how much money they throw at EDL, you simply cannot get a halfway decent return on it, even if EDL becomes profitable. The profits would dwarf the losses it has been incurring.

So, if EDL were sold for say $1 (with a bunch of its debts), it would free money for other uses like salaries, more police, better roads etc and economically it would make the most sense.

saying you are going to build a power plant is easy--getting it done instead of blaming his problems on others, is a different matter. The big money in the world is thrown at people who solve problems, not cry about them.

Simply put, if someone can't do their job, he/she should get out of the way to a qualified person who can get the job done.
