Overview
Lebanon's electricity access stood at 100.00% in 2025, a rise of +0.00pp from 2023. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 100.00% by 2025. Lebanon ranked 89th globally.
Lebanon’s electricity‑access rate has risen modestly but steadily over the past 25 years, moving from 99.30 % in 2000 to a full 100.00 % in 2025, which also marks the all‑time peak for the indicator. The only dip in the record occurred in 2007, when coverage fell to a trough of 97.80 %, after which the country embarked on a series of grid‑expansion projects and regulatory reforms that restored and eventually exceeded prior levels. By 2025 Lebanon tied the global leader board, sharing a 100.00 % rate with peers such as Kuwait, St. Lucia, Korea and Liechtenstein, and ranking 89th worldwide. The achievement reflects both the completion of nationwide transmission upgrades and the successful integration of renewable‑energy sources into the national mix, despite chronic fiscal constraints. Continued investment in smart‑grid technology and diversification of generation capacity will be essential to sustain universal access and to guard against future supply shocks that could reverse the upward trajectory.
