Libya studies LNG imports to stabilize electricity supply
Libya is evaluating the importation of liquefied natural gas (LNG) to stabilize its electricity supply and reduce reliance on liquid fuels. A technical committee is currently examining the infrastructure required to receive, regasify, and transport LNG to power plants.
Proposed solutions include the use of a Floating Storage and Regasification Unit (FSRU) and the development of a coastal gas pipeline to connect new supplies to the national grid. The initiative aims to mitigate supply disruptions, as natural gas accounted for 70.9% of Libya's electricity production in 2022.
Implementation of the project would require close coordination between the National Oil Corporation (NOC) and the General Electricity Company of Libya (GECOL). No final investment decisions have been announced as technical and economic feasibility studies continue.
