The Electricity Regulatory Authority (ERA) of Lebanon has kicked off a tender for up to five grid-connected solar projects.
Tender details state the solar projects will have an installed capacity of 350 MW and will be tied to battery energy storage systems (BESS) totalling 1 GWh. The location and exact capacity of each of the projects is yet to be published.
Chosen developers will be responsible for land acquisition or leasing, all required permits and project design, as well as the financing, construction, interconnection, testing, commissioning and long-term operation and maintenance of the project.
The tender also features a call for distributed dual-fired thermal power plants that operate on natural gas as the primary fuel. The plants are expected to have net capacities ranging from 20 MW to 100 MW.
Projects are expected to be structured under an independent power producer model, the tender adds, with any future contractual arrangements, such as power purchase agreements, at the discretion of the relevant public authority.
The tender opens with an expressions of interest stage, with prospective developers asked to submit their documentation electronically by August 31. ERA says the information received will support the preparation of subsequent licensing, procurement and project implementation phases.
Lebanon’s cumulative solar capacity stood at 1,505 MW by the end of 2025, according to figures published by the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA), up from 1,081 MW at the end of 2024.
