Energy in Lebanon is dominated by oil, which represents more than 95% of the primary energy consumed in 2017.[citation needed] The great majority of energy used in the country is imported.[1] The energy market in Lebanon is characterized by sharply rising consumption, and frequent shortages due to dilapidated infrastructure partly destroyed by the civil war that ravaged the country between 1975 and 1990.[2][3]
Since the 1990s, however, major work has been undertaken by the public authorities to increase production, diversify the energy mix which is highly dependent on imported fossil fuels, and connect many households without access to electricity. The consumption of primary energy has thus increased by more than 4 between 1990 and 2017, going from around 2 to more than 8 tonnes of oil equivalent over this period.[citation needed] But large gaps between generation capacity and electricity demand persist.
The primary energy use in 2009 in Lebanon was 77 TWh, 18 TWh per million persons.[4][5] In 2019, the total solar PV capacity was 78MW.[6]
