The Policy Paper of the Electricity Sector
In June 2010, the Ministry of Energy and Water (MEW) launched the policy paper for the electricity sector
The policy paper was approved by the Council of Ministers as the national plan to upgrade the electricity sector in the country
The policy paper includes 10 strategic initiatives, 3 of them dedicated to energy efficiency and renewable energy, which showsthe commitment of the Ministry to push forward such policies
The 10 initiatives include a total of 42 action steps

Examples of Action Steps in EE and RE
5.a “Complete a wind atlas for Lebanon and launch IPP wind farms withthe private sector in 2010”
5.d “[…] Setting the tariff of energy produced from renewable resources(feed‐in and net‐metering) and synchronizing it to the electric network”
6.e “Set‐up the National Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy Action (NEEREA) as a national financing mechanism and develop the ESCO (Energy Service Company) business dealing with energy audit applications”
8.b “Develop rules and laws that promote the largest penetration of “Green Buildings” and “Energy Efficiency” in collaboration with concerned institutions”

NEEAP Lebanon 2011‐2015
Starting from the different action steps of the policy paper, the Lebanese Center for Energy Conservation (LCEC) has recently started to develop the National Energy Efficiency Action Plan (NEEAP) 2011‐2015
The draft NEEAP is ready (including 15 initiatives). Currently, it is being adjusted according to the requirements of the League of Arab States (LAS)
This exercise is supported by the EU‐funded MED‐ENEC project, including Ecofys, Germany
The final NEEAP will be ready by December 2010. the Minister ofEnergy will submit it to the Council of Ministers for adoption

LCEC
The Lebanese Center for Energy Conservation (LCEC) is the national energy agency for Lebanon catering for all energy efficiency and renewable energy matters
LCEC is directly linked to the Lebanese Minister of Energy and Water (MEW)
LCEC has succeeded in establishing itself as the technical point of reference specialized in energy conservation issues within the structure of the MEW
12
• Under the direct supervision of the MEW, LCEC is working on the following axes:
1.
The development of the
CFL’s
market;
2.
The development of the
SWH’s
market;
3.
The
development
of
the
Public
Street
Lighting,
including O&M;
4.
The
development
of
financing
mechanism
for
energy
audit applications;
5.
The development of the legislative framework for EE and RE.
Current Implementations
13
• MEW
proposed
using
9.08
Million
USD
to
implement
three initiatives in energy conservation:
• 7 Million USD to implement the 3 Million Compact Fluorescent Lamps (CFL) project;
• 1.5
Million
USD
to
offer
subsidies
on
Solar
Water
Heaters (SWH);
• 0.58 Million USD
to implement a national O&M plan on public street lighting;
• The
plan
was
approved
by
the
Council
of
Ministers
(Decision
No. 59) during the session of March 10, 2010.
CoM Decision No. 59
16
• The
project
aims
at
replacing
3
Million
incandescent
lamps
with
3 Million
CFL’s
at a rate of:
• 3 lamps per house, thus covering 1 million houses
• With
a
one‐time
investment
of
7
Million
USD,
this
project
would result
in
savings
of
76
Million
USD
annually
over
a
period
of
4
years. Reduction in demand up to 163 MW.
• Currently,
the
distribution
has
started
in
all
cities
and
villages
of Lebanon
• For quality control issues, the reference to each house will be based on the EDL subscription number

The 3 Million CFL’s
Project
(cont’d)
• On March 12, 2006, LCEC launched the national initiative towards the adoption of EE standards for the CFL.
• On
March
15,
2007,
the
EE
standard
developed
by
LCEC
was adopted as elective.
• On
September
21,
2010,
the
Council
of
Ministers
adopted
the
EE standard for the CFL as mandatory.
19
EE Standards for the CFL
• LCEC
is
working
on
the
development
of
the
National
Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy Account”
(NEEREA).
• NEEREA
will
be
a
flexible
mechanism
to
fund
energy
efficiency and renewable energy projects all over Lebanon.
• NEEREA
will
help
facilities
to
have
loans
at
0%
interest
and
with full risk guarantee.
• It is expected that NEEREA will be operational by end of 2010.
• NEEREA
is
developed
in
coordination
with
the
Central
Bank
of Lebanon (BDL).

LCEC has built the energy audit market in Lebanon:
ESCO business development (6 audit firms, cost‐sharing model)Financial support (national energy efficiency fund)Transfer of know how (training, workshops)Raising awareness (industries, private businesses)Regulatory work (mandatory audits)
LCEC has initiated and supervised more than 100 audits:Beirut International Airport, 4.5 Million USDCasino du Liban, 4 Million USDHotel Dieu de France Hospital, 2 Million USDABC Mall Achrafieh, Solicar Industries, Coca Cola Plant
Energy Audits
• The
Ministry
of
Energy
is
focusing
to develop
renewable
energy production (solar PV, CSP, Wind, hydro, etc.)
• LCEC will give great attention to the “feed‐in”
(or more specifically “net‐metering”) of renewable energy to the national grid
• A
dedicated
committee
of
legal
experts
is
working
on
the finalization of the energy conservation law
• With
the
support
of
the
World
Bank,
LCEC
is
working
on
the update of the thermal standards and building code for the country.
