The thermoelectric plant stopped at Zahrani power station on Saturday while the Deir Ammar plant stopped on Friday due to a fuel shortage, reports Xinhua news agency citing the website as saying.
It has been reported that the power outage will last for a few days.
On Saturday, Lebanon's state electricity company renewed its warning that the country will face total blackout if the Central Bank fails to buy fuel oil to run the power plants.
