Will totalenergies build a 500MW solar project in Libya?

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).

Can solar energy be used to generate electricity in Libya?

(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.

What is Libya's energy strategy?

Oil-rich Libya is aiming to meet its rising energy demands with renewable resources, of which solar has been identified as having “immense potential,” with at least one major project “in its final stages.” The country’s renewable energy strategy aims to achieve 4GW of capacity by 2035, representing 20% of the country’s energy portfolio.

Can a photovoltaic power plant be built in Libya?

(Aldali et al., 2011) presented a proposed design of a photovoltaic power plant based on Al-Kufra conditions. For the sake of friendly environmental effects and variation of the electricity generating mixture, it's also proposed that very large-scale photovoltaic plants of this kind be constructed in Libya.
