Liban Cables extends solar power system at Nahr Ibrahim facility

- By replacing 2 of its 6 electric generators with photovoltaic panels, Liban Cables will reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 1,500 tons per year which is equivalent to the weight of 750 cars.

- Liban Cables have been pioneering the Energy Transition in Lebanon since 2017 when they inaugurated a 600 kW rooftop solar power system

Beirut: Liban Cables, a Nexans company, the leading provider of advanced cabling systems, solutions and innovative services, has inaugurated the extension of its 600 kW peak solar power system at its Nahr Ibrahim industrial facility, leading to a total output power to 1.2MW at peak with a first of its kind 500kW containerized battery solution.

This project will allow Liban Cables to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 1,500 tons per year, which is equivalent to the weight of 750 cars, by replacing two of its six electric generators with photovoltaic panels.

The 3,020 photovoltaic panels installed at Liban Cables and connected to the plant with Nexans solutions will generate over 1,800 MWh per year. This renewable energy will cover over 18% to 20% of the electricity needed by the plant to produce a wide range of building, industry and infrastructure cables. This is the equivalent to the annual
