Libya aims to generate 10% of its power from renewable energy by 2025, following the construction of several large-scale solar photovoltaic plants currently underway.
The solar plant will feature approximately 1.2 million solar panels, expected to generate around 152 terawatt-hours annually. This development
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.
In June 2022, Total Energies, in collaboration with the General Electricity Company of Libya (GECOL) and REAoL, launched the Sadada Solar Energy 500 MW project in Al-Sadada, which is set to become the largest of its kind in the country.
At the recently held Libya Energy & Economic Summit 2025 (LEES), TotalEnergies announced that it expects to progress its 500MW Sadada solar project this year. The project is being built in partnership with the General Electricity Company of Libya and the Renewable Energy Authority of Libya (REAoL).
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.
(Kassem et al., 2020) performed a study analysis of the potential and viability of generating electricity from a 10 MW solar plant grid-connected in Libya. The consequences of that study indicate that Libya has a massive potential of solar energy can be utilised to generate electricity.
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.
