The Independent Power Producer (IPP) AG Energy has just obtained the authorization from the authorities in charge of energy in Libya, for the construction of a 200 MWp solar photovoltaic power plant in Ghadames.
The first renewable energy project to be carried out by an independent power producer (IPP) is now entering its full development phase in Libya. The decision was taken by the Libyan Privatization and Investment Board (PIB) and the General Electricity Company of Libya (GECOL). The validated project is carried by AG Energy, an independent power producer (IPP) based in Dublin, Ireland.
Active mainly in North Africa with 3,500 MW of generating capacity under development, IPP wants to build a solar plant in Libya. The facility, which will have a capacity of 200 MWp, will be located in Ghadames, 650 km from the capital Tripoli. It is mainly a pilot project for the authorities who want to attract private investment in renewable energy in Libya.
