Was it enough and/or will it last; The legacy of CEDRO
What should be done next?

1- Assessment of Large-scale RE Sources;
The main options?
Hydro
Wind Solar
Bioenergy
Geothermal
4
1- WIND: Onshore and Offshore
6
Onshore WIND Prospects When all areas where wind farms cannot be developed are removed;
High population density Military areas Commercial interests (e.g. mining / fishing… Civilian aviation sites National parks and forests Historic sites …
Where wind speeds are greater than 6.5 m/s (@80 m hub height) Assuming an installation density of 8 MW/km2
Results;
Mean 6.1 GW Maximum 12 GW Min 1.5 GW

Economics of wind
Av. LC (5% DR) Av. LC (10% DR) DR)
Benefits of wind power integration as factor of discount rate, fuel prices, and the social cost of carbon
8
Concentrated Solar Power (CSP) CEDRO has completed a
concise update on CSP technology. The document can be downloaded soon from CEDRO’s website
Proper solar resource assessment is being undertaken by RECREE (SolarMed) project for the region
9
Concentrated Solar Power (CSP)
Technical feasibility limit: 1800 kWh/m2/y Economic feasibility limit: 2000 kWh/m2/y
The higher the Direct Normal Irradiance (DNI), the more power is generated by a particular technology
Direct Normal Irradiance
Solar CSP in Lebanon
Slope + Water + DNI
Potential is there, therefore CSP is a matter of financial viability!

PV FarmsTechno-economic study underway for PV farms in Lebanon (CEDRO) – expected publication date (August 2012)
Constraints;
Area; it’s estimated that (mean) 6.4 acres (25,900 m2) are required to generate 1 megawatt of electricity using PV panels. This equates to almost five football fields of area per megawatt of electricity generated (NREL).
Costs: Approximate $2,000,000/MW (Turnkey) excluding land rent (land rent = $5/m2 & 2.5% of capital cost for O&M).
Expected; Levelised cost = $c24 – 26/kWh
13
Hydro-power from non-river sources CEDRO is undertaking an assessment of hydro-power potential
from non-river sources; Irrigation channels Water distribution networks Electrical power plants Water treatment plants
To date; 0.73 MW from irrigation (yet data availability a problem) 0.992 MW from water distribution (data a problem) 5.26 MW from power plants 0.123 MW from WWTP (data also an issue as is the entire WWTP sector) Total: 7.1 MW

‘Micro-generation’ can be defined as the production of electricity or heat from a low-carbon source, at capacities no more than 50kWe or 45kWth (UK definition).
19
Microgeneration
Microwind PV SHW
• Most mature and cost-effective
• 300 litres; 1200 – 1500 USD
• Payback period; 2-5 years
• Expensive but costs reducing
• 1 kWp; 5,000-6,000 USD with storage
• 20-30 years
• Very location specific
• 1 kWp; 2,500-4,000 USD with storage

The CEDRO Legacy
In brief;• CEDRO assisted in creating technical capacity building and
initiated markets for small-scale renewable energy, esp. photovoltaic systems and commercial SHW systems
• Shed light onto the renewable energy resources of the country, esp. wind, biomass, and geothermal.
• Created opportunities for local contractors and consultants, • Pushed forward the RE agenda by assisting in influencing
policies like net metering and how it can be applied technically
• Focused on awareness on RE for the young generation • Hopefully an overhauled and informative website
33
What should be done next – small scale?
• Other technologies require market initiation, esp. bioenergy demonstration projects.
• Most importantly, market development policies are required… BACK TO THE S-Curve; – If the government of Lebanon does not introduce
bold measures to financially support renewables, CEDRO’s work (and others like it) will go to waste!
– Feed-in tariffs, even in a reduced form, must be assessed and introduced intelligently to take into account the current financial situation of the country, and how to subsidize this support while ensuring its’ effectiveness.
34
For large-scale renewable; – Assessment of integration
and control into the national grid
– National Regulatory Authority or its alternative (NRA) – and capacity building for this Authority in licensing PPA
– We can’t wait 3 years after NRA is established!!!
What should be done next – large scale?
