Italian solar energy project in Beirut; Solar panels to heat water in
Armenian quarter
(ANSAmed) - BEIRUT, NOVEMBER 6 - A system to heat water using solar
energy began operating Wednesday in the Bourj Hammoud center for
socio-economic assistance as part of an Italian-funded project.
The inauguration ceremony was attended by Lebanese Minister for the
Environment Nazim el Khouri and Italian Ambassador Giuseppe Morabito.
The Italian Cooperation-funded project will heat 600 litres of water
per day.
''This initiative,'' Morabito said, ''shows the economic advantages of
introducing renewable energy systems, both by creating jobs and by
amortizing investment.''
The initiative at the assistance center is one of the pilot projects
to improve the energy efficiency of 66 buildings used by the public in
Lebanon for which Italy has allocated one million euros.
