Lebanon has embarked on the path of sustainable energy since the commitment launched in Copenhagen in 2009 by the Lebanese Government to develop renewable energy (RE). That famous commitment, well defined in the 2010 Ministry of Energy and Water (MEW) Policy Paper for the Electricity Sector, has become a source of challenge and pride for our country, a real challenge to all concerned parties to reach this target by 2020 and a real pride because this commitment has boosted sustainable energy development in Lebanon to a high priority level. In terms of set numbers, our main target is to implement RE projects that would actually produce approximately 767 kilotonnes of oil equivalent (ktoe) in 2020, equivalent to 12% of the projected total electricity and heating demand in Lebanon during that year. MEW is aware that this target is challenging, but we are also confident that aligning the efforts of all national players and international allies would lead to achieving this target. MEW will exert all possible efforts to set the right policies and the needed mechanisms to make our 767 ktoe target a reality. We count on all our partners to support us in this promising journey, and we look forward to celebrating the implementation of NREAP 2016-2020 by 2020 as a success for Lebanon, all of Lebanon.
