BOT stands for Build-Operate-Transfer, a public-private partnership model. Under it, a government grants a private company the right to finance, build, and operate an infrastructure project for a set period, after which ownership reverts to the state. It is commonly used for energy, water, and transport projects. In Lebanon, this model has been proposed to address the chronic electricity crisis.
