The document discusses a project to promote energy market integration and end-use energy efficiency in Lebanon through national plans. It presents Lebanon's energy challenges including high demand, blackouts, and inefficient generation. Potential energy efficiency and renewable energy technologies for Lebanon are listed. The objective of developing "budget allocation efficiency charts" to identify the most cost-effective measures for implementing is described. The methodology for creating the charts, including assessing technology costs and benefits, is explained. Finally, the results are shown in a chart ranking 20 technologies from most to least cost-effective.

3.  Capacity way below demand
 Outages of 3 hours in the capital (daily) and up
to 12 hours in the rural areas
 Approximately 400 MW of private generation
capacity
 Hydropower contribution decreasing due to
higher demand on water and decreasing
rainfall.
 Monopolized electricity generation
 This project is funded

4.  35% losses on the grid
 25% due to non-technical losses
 17 cents/KWh
 Imports from Syria and Egypt
 Low efficiency of old plants
 Expected 7% growth in demand
 Private generation is not regulated and only
estimates are available

7.  The overall objective of this study is to develop and
disseminate the “budget allocation efficiency charts for
public and private sector spending in EE and RE” for
Lebanon.
 The aim of this report is to present to decision makers
the results of the national budget allocation efficiency
charts that identify the most cost effective EE and RE
measures to implement for achieving energy supply
diversification, energy sustainability and energy
security.

8.  Business as usual SSM scenario: kWh cost is based on
World Bank levelized electricity cost.
 Technology/Measure cost: based on international prices. It
is assumed that the proposed technologies and measures
will be implemented through national programs that
ensure market efficiency.
 Technology/Measure benefits: kWh saving/generation is
country specific, depending on technology/measure
investigated.
 Detailed simple methodologies developed by WI institute
were used to calculate the country potential for each
investigated technology/measure.
