Report: Copper from Dismantling Zouk Power Plant Worth Large Sums of Money

إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية W460

Dismantling Zouk power plant, which was assigned to two foreign companies, includes a major violation as the junk of the factory is reportedly worth large sums of money.

According to An Nahar newspaper published on Tuesday, the copper produced from dismantling the power plant could generate profit, which requires an independent tender itself.

The newspaper quoted a source, that rejected to unveil its name, as saying that one of the contractors that won the $100,000 tender decided to get rid of the junk.

However, a regulatory body had said that this decision contains a major violation.

Media reports had said that the two companies Danish BWSC company, a global turnkey developer, contractor and operator of tailored medium to large-scale power plants, and the German MAN Group -Maschinenfabrik Augsburg-Nürnberg-, will work on rehabilitating the Zouk and Jiyyeh power plants within 18 months maximum.

Lebanon has long suffered from electricity outages because of shortages at its power plants whose maximum capacity is less than 1,500 megawatts but the country’s actual need exceeds 2,300 megawatts.

Gibran Bassil was complaining few month back "about not being able to celebrate Chantal's birthday because he had a an electricity problem"
In reality Mr Bassil is worth now a fortune over half a billion USD.
Some people are lucky, I knew Bassil before Chantal, he passed from a jobless mediocre engineer living in batroun (with no money) to a multi millionnaire!... He and his 3ammo general are two New little thieves in the temple and they are both millionaires!
I hate one thing about those 2 is that they are convinced to be clean and they are like all others THIEVES !!
the Aoun Symptom = a thief in denial..

i give him 2 out 10 for his work...to start with the power ship only started work this month and is down to 10% of capacity.it was idle for two month and getting our money for doing nothing ...your idea of successes doesn't add to much ..must have very low expectations.i have my views until proven otherwise.

yih yih yih before this comment no one named bassil and you are already talking angrily about M14 and FSA and hariri and all the junk in your brainwashed mind. This is how scared you are to admit to yourself that "maybe" auniyye actually steal more than hariris. Well they do my friend.

Gebran bassil can be compared to berry and hariri, he's here to make money. FYI he is now a billionaire. the boat from turkey only came after him and berry and probably M14 agreed on their share. His father in law is becoming his puppet. WAKE UP

meanwhile your general ( oh sorry: little caporal) is stealing his heart out and looting whatever he can.
this electricity generating company was known to have legal issues in another countries for defaulting on a contract and still your imbecile basil insisted on it, and now we are paying the price of his stupidity! or is not stupidity? do I dare to say: commissions?

Thumb geha 30 April 2013, 16:44

well actually M14 represents the whole of Lebanon.
so go play in your corner, and stop defending these thieves and power hungry politicians.
