The document discusses electricity generation and renewable energy potential in Lebanon. It notes that Lebanon generates 10.5 TWh of electricity annually, 95% from oil and 5% from hydropower. The electricity grid needs updating to support renewable energy. Obstacles to renewable energy development include political instability, financial issues, and grid improvements. The CEDRO-UNDP project aims to develop renewable energy projects, spread energy efficiency, and conduct feasibility studies to make renewable options available to Lebanese people. A wind atlas study will identify potential wind power locations and hybrid projects may be implemented.

2. ELECTRICITY GENERATION
- 10.5 TWh Generation
- 95% oil products – Diesel/NG & Fuel
Oil
- 5% Hydropower

3. GRID CONDITION
 99% Country Electrification
 Grid needs updating and maintenance to sustain
RE
 Severe Shortages – Electricity alternates
between areas

4. OBSTACLES TO RE
PRODUCTION
 Constant wars
 Turmoil – political among others
 Financial
 Grid Improvement

5. Future Outlook
 Law for selling electricity
 New Hydropower plants
 Renewable energy plan being discussed
 Spread of Energy Efficiency Concept

6. CEDRO-UNDP PROJECT
 Create Renewable energy projects
(Hydro/Wind/SWH/Hybrid/PV…)
 Spread Energy Efficiency by pilot projects
 Measure efficiency and feasibility of projects and
make available to all people.
 Create workshops/seminars/trainings

7. CEDRO PROJECTS
PV for Schools
SWH for Hospitals
Energy Efficient
Lighting

8. WIND ATLAS
 Funded by CEDRO
 Will assess hot spots and
potential generation
capabilities
 Results will be Published
 Hybrid Projects will be
implemented
 Wind Projects might be
studied and implemented
