Lebanon Ranks 125th on the Energy Architecture Performance Index 2017

According to the World Economic Forum, Lebanon ranked 125th out of 127 countries on the 2017 edition of the global Energy Architecture Performance Index (EAPI) issued by the World Economic Forum. The index assesses the selected countries energy systems based on three dimensions: economic growth and development, environmental sustainability, energy access and security.

Lebanon’s performance on the index has been stagnant. Lebanon ranked 99th on the dimension of economic growth and development, 117th on the dimension of environmental sustainability and 105th on the dimension of energy access and security.

Lebanon’s weak positioning is partly linked to the weak level of diversity of its energy sources, the weak quality of electricity supply and the relatively high CO2 emissions from electricity production.  

Globally, the top five spots were earned by advanced economies: Switzerland, Norway, Sweden, Denmark and France.
