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.
Libya's electricity generation has declined overall since 2013, and output was an estimated 30 terawatthours (TWh) of power generation in 2022.62 Over a decade of civil war and insufficient maintenance and investment in aging plants and equipment reduced Libya's ability to produce electricity.
Fossil fuels met nearly all of Libya's energy demand, with oil accounting for 57% and natural gas accouting for almost 43% in 2022. Rooftop solar projects met less than 1% of the remaining energy demand.15
Libya's natural gas consumption totaled 305 Bcf in 2023 and accounted for more than 70% of domestic production after 2020 (Figure 5).51 The electric power sector drives Libya's domestic natural gas demand, accounting for about 85% of Libya's domestic natural gas use in 2022.
66 Libya Oil Monitor, “GECOL gives update on power plant maintenance,” December 4, 2023; Libya Herald, “Libya generates 8,200 MW of electricity for the first time ever: GECOL,” March 20, 2023. 67 France24, “Libya lights up after years of power cuts,” September 3, 2023.
Libya fueled its electricity generation with natural gas (71%) and oil (29%) in 2022.63 Diesel and fuel oil accounted for most of the petroleum used in power plants, although the Ubari power plant at the Sharara oil field uses crude oil as a fuel.
