Qatari plan to overhaul Lebanon's power sector
Qatar intends to comprehensively restructure Lebanon's energy sector by building a modern electrical system based on efficiency and sustainability standards. The plan includes utilizing a Build-Operate-Transfer (BOT) model to finance, develop, and operate energy projects, such as the development of a large-scale solar power plant in cooperation with Total Energies. Additionally, it involves importing electricity from Syria, developing natural gas resources, and expanding renewable energy sources. The goal is to increase the current production capacity from 100 megawatts to 3,000 megawatts within three years, along with establishing a floating Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) storage unit. The initiative requires structural reforms within the Lebanese Electric Corporation to ensure effective implementation, supported by political backing and extensive cooperation between the two countries.
