The French Total company announced its readiness on Monday to provide Lebanon with liquid gas and the necessary infrastructure for storage. 

The announcement was articulated by the media office of the Lebanese Minister of Energy, Walid Fayyad, who arrived in France on Monday to meet with several officials in the public and private sectors.

According to the media office, Fayyad began his visit to Paris and met with the Chairman of the Board of Directors of Total Energy, Patrik Pouyani, who discussed ways the company could remain active in Lebanon.

Total is part of an agreement, which includes Italian ENI company and Russian Novatek, that includes gas exportation wells off its coasts, including block 9 border parts.

The Lebanese Ministry of Energy stated that both parties agreed Total would conduct a preliminary technical and financial estimate to allow for a comprehensive offer related to the construction of a floating gasification station near the Zahrani electrical station in south Lebanon to supply it with liquid gas.

This comes after the Syrian Minister of Electricity, Ghassan Al-Zamil announced that the Syrian electrical network responsible for delivering power to Lebanon will connect with the Jordanian network and be fully operational by the end of December.

Last October, Egyptian Energy Minister Tarek El-Molla announced Egypt would begin pumping gas to Lebanon in early 2022.

Lebanon is experiencing an energy deficit as a result of the country's greatest financial and economic crisis in its history, which was intensified following a massive explosion that hit Beirut's port on August 4, 2020.
