据路透社7月3日贝鲁特报道，能源和水资源部长纳达·布斯塔尼打开了有意参与建设液化天然气接收站和进口天然气以运营该国发电厂的公司的投标书。部长没有透露赢得合同的公司的名字，但是消息人士说，预计布斯塔尼将在两周内宣布这一消息。
一位不愿透露姓名的消息人士对《每日星报》表示，一旦该项目完成，黎巴嫩每年至少可以节省2亿美元，前提是其中两座发电厂开始使用天然气，而不是汽油和燃料油。
此外，天然气更环保。
政府希望在未来五年削减电力行业的融资成本。电力赤字的大部分用于支付天然气、石油和燃料油的成本。
在11月21日进行的第二轮授权中，有六家公司获得了资格。
一些竞标公司组成财团，以提高赢得建设液化天然气接收站合同的几率。
七家财团和一家公司参与了第一轮授权。进入第二轮的是独立天然气Fenosa;一个包括Best 在2018年5月15日的第二轮投票中，商务部取消了Golar Power Ltd.、CCC S.A.L.和腓尼基能源财团的资格。
目前，只有扎赫拉尼和贝德达维的发电厂可以使用天然气，而其余的电站只能使用更昂贵的燃料和天然气。
能源部计划开发一个集成的液化天然气进口供应链，为黎巴嫩目前和未来的发电厂提供天然气。其目标是通过选定的投标者，确保在这三个地点(Zahrani、Beddawi和Selaata)开发海上液化天然气进口。
赢得合同的公司还将负责从国外进口液化天然气，并建设天然气储存设施。

Lebanon opens bids for LNG terminals
Energy and Water Minister Nada Boustani opened the tender offers from the firms interested in taking part in the construction of LNG terminals and import of gas to run the country’s power plants. The minister did not disclose the name of the companies that won the contracts, but sources said that Boustani is expected to make this announcement within two weeks.
A source, who spoke Furthermore, gas is more environmentally friendly.
The government is keen to cut the cost of financing the electricity sector over the next five years. The bulk of the electricity deficit goes to cover the cost of gas oil and fuel oil.
Six of eight entities qualified in the second licensing round Some of the bidding companies formed consortiums to improve their chances of winning the contracts to build the LNG terminals.
Seven consortiums and one company took part in the first licensing round. The ones that moved to the second round were the standalone Gas Natural Fenosa; a consortium that includes Best on Water, Vitol, Butec, Almabani and Rosneft; another consortium that includes Excelerate, Shell and BB Energy; a fourth that joins ENI with Qatar Petroleum Int LTD.; another joining Total with ZR Energy; and the last consortium formed by Petronas and Unigaz.
In the second round on May 15, 2018, the ministry disqualified the Golar Power Ltd., CCC S.A.L. and the Phoenicia energy consortium.
At present, only the Zahrani and Beddawi power plants can run on gas, while the remaining stations only run on more expensive fuel and gas oil.
The Energy Ministry planned to develop an integrated LNG import supply chain to provide natural gas to current and future power plants in Lebanon. The goal was to secure the development of offshore LNG imports at the three sites (Zahrani, Beddawi and Selaata) through selected bidders.
The company or companies that win the contracts will also be responsible for importing LNG from abroad and building storage facilities to receive the gas.
