Lebanon's future energy outlook will depend on its ability to implement long-overdue reforms, secure consistent fuel supplies, and expand renewable energy sources like solar and wind power. However, the path to energy stability is likely to be long and complex, requiring both domestic political consensus and international support.
Energy in Lebanon is characterized by a heavy reliance on imported fuels, which has led to significant challenges in ensuring a stable and sufficient supply of electricity. The country’s energy sector has been severely affected by a combination of internal political instability, external conflicts, and systemic corruption.
Despite decades of investment, Lebanon's electricity generation capacity remains insufficient to meet the needs of its growing population. As of August 2016, the peak electricity demand in the country was 3,500 MW, but the grid's total capacity was only 2,200 MW.
In Lebanon, there is already some reliance on distributed power generation due to the wide use of diesel generators that cover the deficit between supply and demand.
Between 2000 and 2010, the energy sector was affected by the political turmoil that engulfed Lebanon – the assassination of Prime Minister Rafic Hariri and Israel-Lebanon war, and political instability, notably in 2007. In this period, there was a lack of a clear investment plan to keep up with increased demand and deal with EDL’s losses.
The electricity sector in Lebanon suffers from a chronic shortage of power supply which has been met by private diesel generators that have increased dramatically over the past two decades.
