A study conducted by the Center for Solar Energy Research and Studies (CSERS) revealed that replacing electric water heaters (EWH) with the solar counterparts in the domestic sector of Libya could save up to 2.55 TWh of the annual energy consumption [ 157] and the electricity peak would be cut by 3% [ 158 ].
Electricity and gasoline represent the bulk of energy consumption in Libya [ ]. According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), electricity consumption in Libya was equivalent to 2580 kilo tonne of oil equivalent (ktoe) i.e., 2580 × 10 kg in 2017− a figure that is greater than its counterpart of the year 2000 by a factor of 2.5 (1032 ktoe) [ ].
Natural gas represents about 63% of the Libyan electricity as presented in ]. Approximately 29% of Libya's electrical power is generated from oil-fired plants, while the remaining comes from non-fuel combined steam power plants.
Existing utilization state and predicted development potential of various RE technologies in Libya, including solar energy, wind (onshore & offshore), biomass, wave and geothermal energy, are thoroughly investigated.
The average potential of solar PV and onshore wind over the Libyan territories amounts to 1.9 MWh/kW/year and 400 W/m, respectively. Notwithstanding, biomass and geothermal energy sources are likely to play an important complementary role in this regard.
Another study estimated that the potential electricity production from WTE technology in Libya reaches 197 MW based on basic incineration, 76 MW based on refused derived fuel and biomethanation, and 57 MW based on incineration with recycling scenario [ From economic perspective, marine areas have a great influence on the global financial system.
