Closing the Financial
Gap in the Distribution Business at EDL
Ministry of Energy and Water (MEW) and Lebanese Electricity
Company (EDL)
CRA International
Lebanon
December 2005 - May 2006
The project responds to major needs in electricity
distribution and customer services: the Collection,
Management and Metering services (CMM); and the
Re-engineering of the Distribution Services. The project is
being implemented in two phases: a comprehensive due
diligence, and a complete bidding process. The first project
track defines a fast implementation strategy to create a
self-financed enterprise advanced metering system with a
service contract agreement for billing and collection
services. The second track focuses on the re-engineering of
the distribution services to propose a structure based on
the Asset Owner / Asset Operator Business model. The project
will lead to the outsourcing of CMM and distribution
services to a number of Service Providers.
