Reuters: Qatar has proposed a major energy investment plan to help address chronic electricity shortages in Lebanon, including the construction of two power plants and a 20-year liquefied natural gas (LNG) supply agreement with Qatar Energy. The draft plan envisages two 825 megawatt gas power plants in Deir Ammar in northern Lebanon and Zaharani in the south. The proposed package also includes 800 megawatts of solar energy, 440 megawatts of wind energy, battery storage, infrastructure for LNG gasification and electricity imports from Syria. The purpose of the program is to reduce Lebanon's dependence on expensive private diesel generators, which currently provide a large part of the country's power. It will rely on private investments and project financing to avoid requiring large upfront capital expenditures from the Lebanese state. However, the plan is only theoretical at the moment and must be approved by the governments of Lebanon and Qatar, with implementation expected to take around three years if approved.
