Lebanon — Energy Infrastructure
OverWatts maps 17 energy assets in Lebanon across 4 layers — the 134th-largest mapped base of 157 countries. They include 9 power plants, 4 LNG terminals and 3 cement plants. Operating generation capacity is 2.7 GW, led by oil at 61%.
The companies named on the most assets are Electricity Of Lebanon (5), Lebanese Ministry of Energy and Water (3) and Karpowership (2), counting both ownership and operatorship. Half of Lebanon's mapped assets in service predate 1984 (median commissioning year of the 8 with a known date) and the oldest still listed is Holcim Chekka Cement Plant, dating from 1931. 3 projects are under construction or proposed, led by Deir Ammar 2 power plant (825 MW).
Operating generation capacity by fuel
Utility-scale sites of 100 MW and above. Distributed generation — rooftop solar especially — is outside the tracker, so this runs below national installed capacity.
