LB: PCB Management in the Power Sector Project

closed

The PCB Management in the Power Sector Project in Lebanese has an objective is to dispose of high risk PCBs and improve the inventory management of transformers in the power sector in an environmentally sound manner. The project includes three components. All GEF funded activities are implemented by the Ministry of Environment in close cooperation with EDL. Component one will support a countrywide inventory of the PCB contaminated transformers in the power sector in Lebanon. Component two will support the disposal of high content PCB equipment owned by the EDL and potentially by the private sector, and of the PCB contaminated oil from Bauchrieh. Finally, Component three will support: (i) establishment of a Project Management Unit (PMU) within MOE; (ii) monitoring of indicators and reporting on project performance; (iii) training and capacity building of MOE, EDL and other stakeholders (e.g. customs administration, on site workers technicians etc.) on sustainable management of PCB equipment and storage sites.
