The Lebanese Center for Energy Conservation (LCEC) has published the National Energy Effciency Action Plan (NEEAP) 2011-2015 in February 2012.[1] It presents 14 initiatives to increase energy efficiency across sectors. The initiatives include also the promotion of electricity generation by renewable energies (solar, wind, hydro, geothermal, waste to energy etc.). The NEEAP sets out the following targets: the growth rate of electricity consumption across sectors (industry, buildings, government, others & losses) should be reduced by 5% in 2020 compared to the base year 2010. This should result in a reduced energy intensity of 0.42 kWh/$ in 2020 compared to 0.44 in 2010.
