Govt. authorizes Fayyad to build power plants in Deir Amar, al-Zahrani
Cabinet on Wednesday approved the energy minister’s plan for building two new power plants in the northern area of Deir Amar and the southern region of al-Zahrani.
MTV said Energy Minister Walid Fayyad also proposed setting up a plant in the northern area of Salaata, adding that the suggestion was rejected by Prime Minister Najib Miqati and Culture Minister Mohammed al-Murtada of the Amal Movement.
Fayyad meanwhile denied MTV’s report.
“I did not speak of building a plant in Salaata because this will be a long-term move, whereas I want to achieve results rather than trigger controversial debates,” Fayyad said in remarks after the session.
