Lebanon's electricity production is significantly below the country's demand. This discrepancy has led to widespread power outages and an unreliable. More than 40 years into Lebanon's chronic electricity crisis, power cuts remain a daily reality, with recent blackouts during peak summer heat also disrupting water supplies and other essential services. Frequent power cuts, lasting for several hours each day, have become a norm for many Lebanese households and businesses. Some hope to revive the existing system, built around a centralized and fossil-fueled grid run by the parastatal Electricité du Liban (EDL), with natural gas imported from Egypt or the Mediterranean. Controversial though the announcement was, the price hike promises to partially narrow EDL's yawning deficit and unlock. As a result, EDL can only provide electricity for as little as 1-2 hours each day in 2022, leaving the country in a persistent state of power shortages.

The Eastern Africa Power Pool (EAPP), is a collaborative effort by eleven countries in Eastern Africa to interconnect their electricity grids and take advantage of excess capacity within the network and facilitate trade of electric power between the members. LocationThe secretariat of the Eastern Africa Power Pool organisation is located at Wereda 02, House 059, Bole Sub. In February 2005, seven countries in the Eastern African region came together because they saw mutual benefit in having one power pool. The original countries were, Burundi, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Eg. Some of the transactions among EAPP member states include the following: In July 2022, Kenya signed a 25-year with, where the latter will sell 200 MW of electric power to the form. The Independent Regulatory Board (IRB) is an organ of EAPP. The IRB is mandated to establish, monitor and coordinate trade in electricity between the member countries of the EAPP. Previously.
