Salim has been the Business Development & Procurement Manager for Energy & Engineering at Debbas Group for the past 6 years, where he has been working on key and pioneering projects covering Utility, Smart Metering & Renewable Energy in Lebanon & in the MENA region. He holds a degree in mechanical engineering and an MBA, and is currently completing the “ProGreen Diploma" focused on Renewable Energy at the American University of Beirut. Salim was selected as a Future Energy Leader of Lebanon in 2019 as part of the FELL – 18 program supported by the World Energy Council.
Addressing the local electricity dilemma and global need for electricity access in remote areas might not be impossible, yet it requires moving from the traditional approach to electricity to a more dynamic and data driven way of dealing with the grid. Accordingly, SMART Grids play a vital role in this concept and allows the integration of various non-conventional energy sources and expands electricity’s reach.
This seminar will discuss the emergence of SMART Grids, their applicability, locally as well as in areas without access to electricity, and how they can contribute in the overall solution desperately needed in Lebanon and in other under-developed communities.
