Renewable energy applications in Libya:
1- Photovoltaic applications:
The total installed PV capacity in Libya by the end of year 2010 is around 4 MW divided to:
PV for Rural Electrification
PV for Water pumping
PV for street lights
PV for Communication Networks
PV for Roof top systems
PV for Cathodic protection
PV in Rural Electrification
The use of PV systems for rural electrification andlighting was started in 2003
318 PV systems were installed to supply small remote area with a total power 236 KWp
PV for Water pumping
Projects in the field of water pumping was started 1983 where PV pumping system was used to pump water for irrigation at El-Agailat
The water pumping project consists of installing of 10 PV systems with a total estimated peak power for this application is 40 KWp.
PV in Communication Networks
Projects in the field of communication was started 1980 where a PV system was used to supply energy to a microwave repeater station near Zella
The total number of stations running by PV in the field of communications exceeding 120 stations
The total installed photovoltaic peak power installed is around 3 MWp
PV in Roof top systems
The use of PV grid connected roof top systems was started in 2010.
10 PV grid connected roof top systems were installed with a capacity of 3 KWp each.
PV in Cathodic protection
The first project put into work was in 1976 to protect the oil pipe line connecting Dahra oil field with Sedra Port.
The total PV systems in this field is around 320 systems, with a total installed PV systems of 650 KWp.
2- Solar thermal applications:
Solar thermal application
The use of domestic solar heater started in 1980 by installing a pilot project of 35 systems.
There are all together about 6000 solar heaters in Libya.
3- Meteorological stations for Wind energy:
26 Meteorological stations for wind energy were installed in different locations in Libya
Renewable Energy Institutions in Libya:
Solar Energy Research Center
Renewable Energy Authority of Libya (REAOL)
The Ministry of Electricity and Renewable Energy
Renewable Energy Authority of Libya )REAOL(:
REAOL is a governmental agency, it was established in 2007
The main objectives of REAOL are:
Implement of renewable energy in various forms.
Rise the contribution of renewable energy in the national energy mix.
Encourage and support the industries related to renewable energy.
Propose the legislation needed to support renewable energy.
