Wind energy in Lebanon: launch of 60 MW wind farm

The wind farm is expected to produce 60 megawatts of energy, enough to power around 60,000 homes, officials at the energy company Hawa Akkar said.

Hawa Akkar launched their project at a news conference at the Four Seasons Hotel along with Energy Ministry and Danish officials, as well as representatives from the Akkar region.

General manager of Hawa Akkar called for government officials to finish all the needed laws and decrees so they could begin construction of the project.

There are several other wind energy projects around the country in various stages of construction that could potentially make people no longer dependent on the country’s decrepit electrical grid.
