The modern world is facing hedge amount of challenges in the area of energy management. Information and Communication technologies are on of most important tools for managing, monitoring and improving the energy consumption efficiency if they are implemented and used for that. Not all countries dealing with this issues successfully and effectively. Therefore scientific and practical solutions based on regions specifics are necessary. This article aims to analyze the peculiarities of Middle East countries in ICT usage in energy management sector. After conducting the researches, it can be stated that the positive influences of the ICTs' in managing the energy management sector are valid, valuable and giving progressive results. The research results are presented further in the article and the peculiarities of the factors and the tools that are used to improve efficiency and sustainability of in the energy management sector in Middle East countries.

Sustainability and innovation are strongly connected in terms of productivity and finding innovative solutions for the short and the long terms. The purpose of this article is to analyze ICT models for in-novation and sustainable development processes in the energy management sector and to identify possible solutions (Lebanese case). Using the comparative analysis method, the article will illustrate the difference between using ICT models in innovation and sustainability in energy management and the previous models used for energy production and management focusing on the results after im-plementation.
