Lebanon: Energy Situation
• Full dependency on imported fuel.
• Significant problems in meeting the increasing electricity need.
• The electricity production, which is fully dependent on imported heavy fuel oil, is able to meet less than 70% of current demand (approx.1,800 MWh of 2,500 MWh).
• Consequently, all sectors are equipped with back-up diesel generators to compensate for electricity black-outs of 3-6 hours daily.
9
Lebanon: Building Sector
• The buildings sector is among the highest energy consumers in Lebanon, thus offering significant potential for savings.
• According to UNFCCC: the residential, governmental and commercial sectors in Lebanon consume nearly 55% of total electricity production (29,2%, 16,9% and 8,8% respectively).
• The self-generated electricity consumed in buildings constitute between 33% - 44% dependent upon the type and use of the building.
