  • Britain and Lebanon have launched a new National Renewable Energy Action Plan (NREAP 2025–2030) to expand clean energy over the next five years.
  • The roadmap will guide investments, policies, and partnerships to strengthen Lebanon’s energy independence and support its climate commitments.

Britain and Lebanon launched a new National Renewable Energy Action Plan (NREAP 2025–2030) on Thursday, September 25, at the Lebanon Grand Energy Event. The plan outlines the country’s roadmap for expanding clean energy over the next five years.

Furthermore, British Ambassador to Lebanon Hamish Cowell and Energy and Water Minister Joe Saddi unveiled the plan, which sets out Lebanon’s renewable energy ambitions and priorities.

Since 2024, the UK has partnered with the Lebanese Centre for Energy Conservation to provide technical support for updating the NREAP. Officials say the plan will guide investments, policy reforms, and financing opportunities for renewable energy technologies.

“The UK is proud to support Lebanon in shaping a cleaner, more sustainable future,” Cowell said at the launch. “This plan is vital to unlocking Lebanon’s energy transition and addressing the challenges that stand in the way of progress.”

Meanwhile, the roadmap aims to strengthen Lebanon’s energy independence, build resilience, and help meet climate commitments. British officials said the initiative reflects London’s broader role in supporting global climate action and sustainable energy development.

Lebanese authorities said the plan will also provide a framework for partnerships to accelerate renewable energy deployment.
