The state should invest in this strategic sector with the aim of transferring knowledge and technology localization and building national technical staff. Most short-term plan projects financed from the Country budget due to the absence of laws and legislation governing investment in this sector. 17 Short-term projects (2013 – 2015) Total capacity Capacity of Method of Name of project Feild (MW) project (MW) financing Darnah wind farm 60 Country budget Projects of wind Al-Magron wind 80 Country budget power 260 farmI Al-Magron wind 120 investment farmII Plant Al-Jofra 14 Country budget Plant Sabha 15 Country budget Projects of solar Plant south green 50 investment PV 85 mount Roof systems 3 Country budget Rural 2 Country budget electrification Projects of Plant south Concentrated solar 25 25 Country budget Sabha power Projects of solar 60 Different sits 60 Country budget water heating 18 Contents: 6.

Financial returns from the sale of certificates reduction in carbon emissions valued at about (6 – 8 million US Dollars annually) Contribute to cover part of the demand for electric power Gain experience and transfer of knowledge and technology localization. Sustainable spatial development and job creation Will pave the way toward having Libya as a clean energy exporter 23 Contents:

8. The Energy Efficiency 24 REAOL has been officially given the job of carrying out the work of Energy Efficiency to the stage of implementation: 25 REAOL has been officially given the job of carrying out the work of Energy Efficiency to the stage of implementation: • Coming up with the National Energy Efficiency Action Plan (NEEAP) • Review the worldwide practices of EE and come up with the best practices and what, how, when can be implemented in Libya • Propose the necessary laws, regulations, incentives and get it approved by the Government. • Do the work of public awareness and public acceptance. 26 Methodology proposed to achieve the National Energy Efficiency Action Plan (NEEAP) according to the Arab Guideline for Electricity Efficiency 27 The proposed structure of NEEAP National Plan of Energy Efficiency Definitions Chapter 1 Purpose & Scope of work Chapter 2 General Goals and objectives Chapter 3 The leading role of the public sector Incentives to Promote the practices of Chapter 4 efficient energy end-use and energy services Laws, regulations and administrative Chapter 5 provisions accompanying the plan Annexes 28 With the end of 2014, we expected the plan has reached the stage of going into force. By that time we expect to have laws, regulations and policies and legislation and incentives approved by the Government. By that, we need to create a supervisory authority to ensure compliance with the laws and regulations …. Regulator 29 Words to Conclude: To see the fruitful conclusions of this RE & EE action plan, the following must be considered: Libya’s electricity market up to now is a complete monopoly. GECOL is the only generation company, only transmission company, only distribution company …. Heavily subsidized. The price of electricity in Libya is very low. A fair and practical FiT must be in place. Libya has no energy regulator. 30 Words to Conclude: To see the fruitful conclusions of this RE & EE action plan, the following must be considered: Investment laws in the energy sector does not exist. The energy market in Libya is very much fragmented and not easy come up with risk assessment. Libya (REAOL) must create a power purchase agreement to promote the various RE technologies (cost + profit margin). 31 Words to Conclude: To see the fruitful conclusions of this RE & EE action plan, the following must be considered: The Libyan financial institutions must get involved in the investment. Directing a percentage of current support for conventional energy sources (fuels of various kinds) to support the development of renewable energy sources Libya must play a role toward the implementation of the proposed international initiatives. Increase the R & D support for RE and EE 32 The Libyan financial institutions must get involved in the investment. Directing a percentage of current support for conventional energy sources (fuels of various kinds) to support the development of renewable energy sources Libya must play a role toward the implementation of the proposed international initiatives. Increase the R & D support for RE and EE 33 Thank You 34 Competent technical parties worked with Secretariat of the Council of Arab electricity ministers In the preparation of form the indicative
1. Regional Center for Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency (RCREEE)
2. Energy Efficiency in the Construction Sector in the Mediterranean (MED ENEC)
3. Euro-Mediterranean Energy Market Integration Project (MED EMIP) For these bodies a essential role in reviewing and evaluating the plan (in the case of the request of the Country). As well as review and redirect the application every three years. 35 First: Planning and Studies Work with specialized consultancy offices and international organizations in the implementation of the following acts
1. Study the possibility of using silicon available in Libya in the solar cell industry.
2. Planning to establish an industrial base for renewable energy equipment in Libya
3. Study the possibilities available to the local entry in the industrial partnerships
4. Reload National Atlas of the Solar and Wind Energy.
5. Study and evaluate the performance of renewable energy systems installed 36
