US helping Lebanon with regional energy supplies

U.S. Ambassador to Lebanon Dorothy Shea held a meeting Tuesday afternoon with Energy Minister Walid Fayyad and Electricité du Liban Director General Kamal Hayek.

“Jointly, we really feel that we're making very good progress on the regional energy deals that the United States has been keen to see move forward. We're trying to get humanitarian relief and real day-to-day relief for the Lebanese people, who have been suffering for far too long from energy shortages and electricity outages,” Shea said after the meeting.

“We're pleased that today we were able to make further progress toward getting gas into Lebanon from Egypt and electricity into Lebanon from excess electricity on the Jordanian grid. We're very pleased with the progress that we're making and I'm thankful for the hard work that my counterparts have been engaging in,” she added.
