In order to achieve a 24/7 electricity, enable the large deployment of renewable energy and stabilize the grid, Lebanon needs to add base load electricity (on demand electricity), which can be used to stabilize the intermittency of renewable energy.
The most efficient type of base load power in the case of Lebanon are natural gas combined cycle power plants.
According to researchers at the American University of Beirut's Nature Conservation Center, pollution levels have increased by 300% in 2021 due to the heavy use of private generators.3 Moreover, electricity blackouts have affected the water sector and the ability to treat, pump and distribute water.
Launch tenders for utility scale renewable energy projects in wind, solar and hydro; prioritizing public land to reduce time of execution and tariffs; with the aim of installing 4,100 MW of installed capacity in solar, hydro and wind by 2030, as per the IRENA REmap and Outlook for Lebanon. Access to electricity is a basic human right.
