Power Plants in Libya (Map) | database.earth
Data and information about power plants in Libya plotted on an interactive map.
View DetailsThe primary fuel sources for electricity generation in Libya are natural gas, accounting for 67%, and oil, contributing 33%. Diesel and fuel oil are the main petroleum sources utilized in power plants, although facilities located at oil fields sometimes turn to crude oil when imported refined products are unavailable.
Total energy supply (TES) includes all the energy produced in or imported to a country, minus that which is exported or stored. It represents all the energy required to supply end users in the country.
In 2021, Libya generated a total of 34,629 gigawatt-hours (GWh) of electricity, with non-renewable sources accounting for 34,621 GWh, representing almost 100% of the total generation. Renewable sources, notably solar power, had a minimal impact, contributing only 8 GWh.
The country has a high potential for wind and solar energy. Construction has begun on a 100 MW solar power plant in the town of Kufra in southeastern Libya. Libya became a member of the IAEA in 1963. Libya has a Soviet-designed 10 MWt research reactor in Tajura that was built in 1981.
