A landmark project in the academic energy transition of Lebanon. NovaEnergia delivered a full EPC solution for Al Balamand University — one of the most prestigious higher education institutions in the country. The system ensures long-term savings, grid relief, and a clean energy leadership statement.
Location: Koura, North Lebanon
Client Sector: Higher Education
In one of the most prestigious academic institutions in the country, NovaEnergia designed and executed a 1.7 MWp solar system for Al Balamand University. As the largest solar installation on a university campus in Lebanon at the time, this project reflects not only technical excellence but a shared vision for energy independence and sustainability in education.
Like many institutions in Lebanon, the university faced growing energy costs, unstable grid supply, and an urgent need to demonstrate environmental leadership. Our mission was to deliver a system that would guarantee long-term performance, integrate seamlessly with campus operations, and reflect their forward-thinking identity.
NovaEnergia executed a complete Engineering, Procurement, and Construction (EPC) solution. The project includes:
The system offsets a significant portion of the university’s daytime energy use and reduces its environmental footprint by over 1,000 metric tons of CO₂ annually. Financially, the project delivers over $290,000 in savings per year, with an ROI of just over 3 years. Beyond savings, it positioned the university as a national leader in clean energy.
This project set the benchmark for solar adoption in the education sector across Lebanon. It continues to serve as a reference for institutions seeking performance, scale, and sustainability through solar EPC.
