Lebanon has been experience electrical outages as the state only provides 2-3 hours of electricity per day to Beirut, and people must rely on generators, though the generators require diesel fuel, which is not easy to obtain because it is sold on the black market at higher rates than what the dollar value for the diesel is. For a private generator service, providers charge LL1 million or about $666.67 at the official exchange rate per 5 amps, which is enough to power an AC unit for on room.
