An-Nahar – TESSA Project (EPC)

The TESSA Project Lebanon was launched to address the country’s deep energy and economic challenges by promoting sustainable energy solutions, creating green jobs, and building local capacity.

As part of this national framework, An-Nahar was selected as one of the pilot beneficiaries to showcase how Energy Performance Contracting (EPC) can be applied in practice. Under this model, FREE energy is implementing a mix of renewable energy and efficiency measures that includes the installation of a solar PV system, a lighting control system, thermostats, and water flow optimization valves. The scope also covers archiving room civil works, scanners and IT equipment for data management, curtain installations, as well as complete testing, commissioning, and training.

The An-Nahar project is one among several being delivered through TESSA, highlighting how institutions across different sectors can benefit from sustainable solutions while contributing to Lebanon’s
