Libya’s renewables wealth offers the potential to diversify its domestic energy matrix and provide decentralized power solutions, with 22% of the country’s electricity generation aimed to be derived from renewables by 2030.
Construction of the plant is being led by Alhandasya, a Libyan company specialized in engineering services, electromechanical works and renewable energy development and implementation. The construction of a solar photovoltaic power plant is already underway in Kufra, with a planned capacity of 100 MWp.
The primary objectives of the plant include localizing technology, expanding the public grid, alleviating power shortages and supplying power to the region and network at-large. Libya is set to construct a 62 kWp solar power plant in the Center for Solar Energy and Research in Tajura, located near the capital of Tripoli.
Libya is set to construct a 62 kWp solar power plant in the Center for Solar Energy and Research in Tajura, located near the capital of Tripoli. Upon completion, the project will be connected to the national grid and will service the wider north-western region, with a view to reducing the country’s current power generation deficit of 1,500 MW.
While Libya currently produces 33 TWh of power to meet rising electricity demand, the sector requires a significant inflow of private investment and more supportive policies from the government in fostering competitive bidding and long-term power purchase agreements for renewable developers.
In total, Libya is home to daily average solar radiation of 7.1 kWh per m2 in its coastal region and 8.1 kWh per m2 in its southern region, along with more than 3,500 hours of average annual sun duration and 140,000 TWh per year of concentrated solar potential.
