Country Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy Demonstration Project for the<br />

Recovery of Lebanon (CEDRO)<br />

In partnership with the Ministry of Energy and Water" the Ministry of Finance" and the<br />

Council for Development and Reconstruction" the United Nations Development<br />

Programme (UNDP) is managing the "country energy efficiency and renewable energy<br />

demonstration project for the recovery of Lebanon" (CEDRO). Created in October 2007"<br />

the project has a mandate of five years" lasting till October 2012" and a budget of $9.73<br />

million funded by the Lebanon Recovery Fund by means of a donation from Spain.<br />

CEDRO has been established with an aim to complement the national power sector<br />

reform strategy" and to support the greening of Lebanon's recovery" reconstruction" and<br />

reform activities. To achieve this" the project will focus on activating end-use energy<br />

efficiency and renewable energy applications in public sector buildings and facilities<br />

across Lebanon.<br />

More specifically" CEDRO's mandate will be implemented on several levels:<br />

<br />

<br />

<br />

<br />

<br />

The first level involves the implementation of end-use energy efficiency (EE) and<br />

renewable energy (RE) demonstration projects in approximately 80 public sector<br />

buildings and facilities across Lebanon;<br />

The second level involves the gearing of CEDRO projects towards assisting in<br />

alleviating barriers to increased penetration of RE and EE applications;<br />

The third level targets public awareness issues on climate change, energy<br />

consumption, and RE and EE applications;<br />

The fourth level increases the availability of validated data on energy<br />

consumption patterns, and RE and EE performance costs and benefits;<br />

The fifth level consists of supporting the formulation of a national sustainable<br />

energy strategy and action plan through a research and development program.<br />

Pilot Projects:<br />

In line with the first level of CEDRO of implementing renewable energy and energy<br />

efficiency projects for public sector buildings and sectors, several sites where chosen to<br />

receive the following technologies:<br />

Energy efficiency measures for saving on electricity and other power sources<br />

<br />

<br />

<br />

<br />

Photovoltaic systems for electricity generation<br />

Small wind turbines for electricity generation<br />

Solar water heaters to save on the water heating bills of several buildings and on<br />

diesel usage<br />

Thermal Insulation to decrease heating and cooling loads of buildings<br />
