In 2021, the Renewable Energy Authority of Libya (REAoL) made a major announcement about transitioning the country’s energy portfolio towards renewable sources. 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<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unlocking Libya’s Potential for a Diversified Energy Portfolio <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Libya’s position as a country with abundant oil reserves and an average of 3,200 hours of sunshine per year<\/strong> presents a unique opportunity for a diversified energy portfolio. The Sadada solar power project, by providing more reliable and cleaner electricity, will not only stimulate economic growth and create new job opportunities, but also pave the way for a more diversified energy mix.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Total Energies’ Commitment to Sadada Solar Energy Project<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Total Energies, in collaboration with the Libyan authorities, is currently in commercial discussions to prepare for the final agreements and accelerate the start of the project. The company’s managing director, Pascal Br\u00e9ant, expressed confidence<\/a> in the project’s progress, noting that the strong commitment of the highest-level authorities<\/strong> and Total Energies<\/strong> will allow for manoeuvring the legislative and administrative framework.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Benefits of Renewable Energy Development in Libya <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The shift towards renewable energy is a crucial step for Libya to reduce its reliance on oil exports and increase energy security. The country’s vast oil reserves can support a gradual transition towards renewable sources, ensuring a sustainable revenue stream while mitigating the economic risks associated with fluctuations in oil prices. The Sadada solar power project is one of the first steps towards a more diversified energy portfolio, with the potential for further investments in wind and ocean energy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
