EU Support to Lebanons Green Agenda - Sustainable Energy This project will provide solar energy solutions to the public sector, thus ensuring the continued provision of essential services and to bridge the energy gap that the national utility is unable to meet now. By doing so, the cost of electricity on the national budget is also lowered which would alleviate the financial burden on both the central government and on the sectors themselves, allowing them to use the financing for other essential services that are needed. On a global level, the Action is also aligned with the Lebanese unconditional National Determined Contribution (NDC) under the Paris Agreement to reduce by 20 % the Greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) by 2030, increase the renewable energy to reach 18% of the electricity produced by 2030 and a 3 % energy efficiency target by 2030. The project strategy consists of approaching the transition to renewable energy in Lebanon at two levels: one is to provide and improve access to energy for the public sector, including the Lebanese Armed Forces and the Internal Security Forces and the second is to support the private sector to upscale solar energy supply to greening recovery and creating jobs. Parallel to these two approaches, improving capacities, policies and legislation to push the sector forward will also be tackled based on the lessons learnt and needs identified during implementation at field level of both components. Ultimately, the overall impact of the project is the improved energy security and transition to sustainable energy and resource efficiency in Lebanon. This will be reached based on the below theory of change and in the later sections, more details are provided about the detailed outcomes, outputs and activities

Energy Efficiency and Reduce Emissions of Green-house Gases in Lebanon Digital tools and Internet of Things (IoT) provide valuable insights, automation, and control capabilities that can significantly enhance the energy efficiency of cooling systems, reducing emission of green-house gases, and identifying energy saving opportunities. By implementing smart cooling strategies and smart cold chain infrastructure, a city can reduce the urban heat island effect, minimize the amount of electricity consumed, which in turn reduces the use of fossil fuels and pressure on the power grid in the peak time.Despite refrigeration and air conditioning accounting for a significant share of global energy consumption, the application of digitalization to these areas has so far received less attention than for other household appliances and mobility devices. Therefore, it is important to conduct demonstration projects to accumulate experiences for replication in more countries.This project will research and identify digital tools which can be used to monitor the use of energy. Based on this information, it will pilot the use of such digital tools for the monitoring and development of strategies to minimize energy use.
