Plan de Catar para el Líbano: dos centrales y un contrato de GNL a 20 años

Según Reuters, un borrador podría acabar con los apagones si ambos gobiernos lo aprueban.

Catar ha propuesto construir dos centrales eléctricas en el Líbano y suministrar gas natural licuado durante 20 años, informó Reuters a partir de un documento al que tuvo acceso, fechado en octubre de 2026.

El programa incluye también importación y regasificación de GNL, renovables, baterías e interconexiones regionales. Su ejecución tardaría unos tres años si las aprobaciones son rápidas. Busca financiación privada o por proyecto para no cargar el presupuesto del Estado; las garantías y obligaciones de pago siguen en negociación. Requiere la aprobación de ambos gobiernos.

El primer ministro catarí visitó Beirut la semana pasada. Ni la Cancillería catarí ni el ministro libanés de Energía respondieron a Reuters.
