Lebanon Unveils Ambitious Renewable Energy Roadmap with UK Support

British Ambassador Hamish Cowell launched, with the Minister of Energy launched the Lebanon’s National Renewable Energy Action Plan (NREAP 2025–2030).

During the Lebanon Grand Energy Event 2025 (24–26 September), British Ambassador to Lebanon Hamish Cowell launched yesterday, with the Minister of Energy and Water Joe Saddi, Lebanon’s National Renewable Energy Action Plan (NREAP 2025–2030).

Since 2024, the UK partnered with the Lebanese Centre for Energy Conservation to provide targeted technical support to help update the NREAP, a strategic roadmap that outlines Lebanon’s renewable energy ambitions and implementation priorities for the coming years.

The UK’s support reflects its broader global leadership on climate action and its dedication to helping partner countries unlock sustainable energy solutions. By working closely with Lebanon’s energy institutions, the UK aims to foster innovation, policy reform, and enable investment and finance in renewable energy technologies.

The updated NREAP will serve as a cornerstone for Lebanon’s short and long-term renewable energy goals, supporting the country’s resilience, energy independence, and climate commitments.

Following the launch, British Ambassador to Lebanon said:

The UK is proud to support Lebanon in shaping a cleaner, more sustainable future. The UK’s technical support to Lebanon’s updated National Renewable Energy Action Plan is a vital step toward unlocking Lebanon’s energy transition, and addressing the challenges that stand in the way of progress.

The NREAP 2025-2030 is not just a plan—it is a commitment to the Lebanese people and environment. With the UK’s support, Lebanon is equipped to overcome obstacles, accelerate transition to renewable energy and explore strategic partnerships for effective implementation.
