Libya''s 500 MW Sadada Solar Project: Powering a Renewable
Libya is poised to significantly advance its renewable energy sector, as the General Electricity Company of Libya (GECOL) and French energy giant TotalEnergies have
Once completed, the 500 MW plant will be one of the largest solar power projects in the region, as highlighted in this PV Know How article. This project is a significant achievement for Libya, a nation grappling with energy shortages and an overreliance on oil and gas.
For more information on Libya's solar developments, visit PV Know How. The Sadada solar power plant will be located in the Sadada area, about 280 kilometers east of Tripoli. The project will be implemented in phases, with the first phase expected to be operational by the end of 2025.
Libya has substantial solar energy potential, thanks to its abundant sunlight and vast tracts of undeveloped land. With an average of 3,000 sunshine hours annually, the country is ideally suited for solar power projects.
By investing in solar power, Libya can diversify its energy mix and reduce its environmental impact. As a long-standing player in Libya's energy sector, TotalEnergies brings the expertise and technology needed to ensure the project's success, signaling strong confidence in Libya's renewable energy potential.
