About electricity in Lebanon
Lebanon runs on 230V/50Hz with Type C and F (Schuko) sockets.
Grid & history
Lebanon’s grid (Électricité du Liban) has been unable to meet demand for decades. The 2019–present economic crisis worsened this dramatically, state electricity is now intermittent for most of the day in most cities, and private neighbourhood generators ("subscriptions") supply the gap.
Availability
State supply is unreliable nationwide. Most residences and businesses subscribe to private generator services that provide power during state outages.
Sockets & hotels
Type F (Schuko) is the standard.
Energy mix
Solar uptake growing on rooftops as a workaround.
Practical tips
- A small Type C/F European adapter is all you need.
- Expect daily outages. Most hotels have generator backup but verify with your accommodation.
- Bring a power bank and surge protector.
