The claim
هل يحق لمجلس الوزراء أن يحلّ مكان الهيئة الناظمة لقطاع الكهرباء، إلى حين إنشائها، لجهة "إعطاء تراخيص مرتبطة بإجراء مناقصات واستدراجات عروض"؟
Original review summary
The review says the Council of Ministers was not authorized to act as a substitute for the electricity regulator in issuing these licenses. It reports that the renewable-energy law reserved the relevant powers to the regulator and gave no other body interim authority.[S1]
Additional context
The review says the Council of Ministers issued the licenses on 12 May 2022, following approval by the Ministry of Finance on 21 April 2022 to proceed with a joint licensing proposal. [S1]
The review notes that Lebanon’s distributed renewable-energy law was issued on 22 December 2023 and assigns the regulator roles in energy exchange arrangements and monitoring projects and contracts. [S1]
