The UNDP organized a 10-day training program in Cairo to enhance Libya''s expertise in photovoltaic systems. The program focused on the planning, design, and installation of utility-scale and rooftop PV systems as part of Libya''s renewable energy transition. By focusing on solar energy, Libya can enhance its energy security while also
The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) announced today that it had brought together forty key officials from the Libyan Ministry of Planning (MoP), General Electricity Company of Libya (GECOL), Renewable Energy Authority of Libya (REAoL), Libyan Centre for Solar Energy Research and Studies, and Al Enmaa Electric Investment for a
UNDP Libya''s new solar power installations consist of two main sub-systems – solar rooftop panels to produce electricity, and high capacity batteries to store the energy and ensure a stable supply. "The solar power system means a stable electricity supply; just what we need to continue our work," said Al-Megrahi.
