Abstract

This National Renewable Energy Action Plan is a nationwide sectoral document aiming at achieving what the Government has declared regarding the 2020 objectives about energy "the adoption of a national road map built on modern environmental concepts (green energy) and counting on renewable energy sources to reach 12% of Lebanon’s needs". Three main paths need to be developed in order to reach this 12% target (i) wind energy for electricity production; (ii) solar energy, including solar photovoltaics (PV), concentrated solar power (CSP), and solar water heaters; and (iii) biomass. The Plan offers a detailed description of the different RE technologies to be used in Lebanon to meet the 2020 objective, including the target for each technology, the financial appraisal of the technology, the needed budget, and the way forward. For each technology, three different scenarios are considered (pessimistic, realistic, and optimistic).
