This study examines the impact of DPV expansion from the perspective of a fragile and inefficient power utility, {\'E}lectricit{\'e} du Liban. Specifically, this paper studies the economics and policy options of on-grid systems via a net-metering scheme. The analysis yields two primary recommendations: In the absence of tariff reform for cost recovery, DPV policies should promote self-consumption; and after cost recovery is achieved, DPV tariff should ensure an adequate price differential that balances the interests of EDL and prosumers.}, keywords = {Distributed generation, Lebanon, Net-metering, Tariff reform}, issn = {0957-1787}, doi = {https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jup.2020.101138}, url = {http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0957178720301326}, author = {Ali Ahmad} }
