Abstract
Lebanon nowadays faces critical power generation shortages and energy security problems due to almost full dependence on imported oil and chronic economic deficit of Electricite du Liban(EDL). Since these problems persist, now is the time for Lebanon to formulate a firm policy and action plans for attracting investments in renewable energy and energy efficiency. The paper examines key donor activities and projects and their results in the introduction of renewables and energy efficiency technologies as well as creating the respective legislative and institutional framework in Lebanon. Conclusions discuss proposals for the further improvement of renewables and energy efficiency, the most important being the political commitment to promote these technologies and reform the energy sector, the set up of fiscal incentives and financing mechanisms, the right use of subsidies and the establishment of the institutional framework of the energy sector with clear roles.
