The Libyan Minister of Oil and Gas of the outgoing Government of National Unity (GNU), Mohamed Aoun, said that Libya has enough solar radiation to export huge amounts of electricity to other countries.

During his participation via videoconference in the Global Summit on Energy Security in India, Aoun stressed the need to transition to clean energies however he urged that it not take place at the expense of the African continent.

According to a statement by the Ministry, Aoun added that more than half of the continent’s population has not seen electricity in their lives and they have the right to live a decent life before switching to clean energies.

Minister Aoun referred to the start of projects to generate electricity from solar energy in Libya, adding, “we have ambitious projects in various fields of energy.”

Earlier this month, Aoun said that Libya plans to increase oil production to 2 million barrels per day (bpd), within three years.

In press statements, Aoun expected that oil would gradually rise between 1.3 and 1.5 million bpd during 2023. He added that geological studies have proven the existence of large deposits of oil and gas in the Libyan economic waters in the Mediterranean.

The Minister expressed his hope to reach “amicable solutions” to the maritime border demarcation crisis with neighbouring countries, especially Egypt.

Notably, Libya’s Sirte Oil and Gas Production Company said that work resumed at the Al-Jabal oil field at full production capacity. This will add about 9,000 bpd.

The Sirte Company added that the fields were supplied and equipped to become smart fields. It pointed out the completion of the three-dimensional seismic survey project with distinction (MN 216A), in the Ghadames basin.

In December, the National Oil Corporation (NOC) announced Libya’s crude oil production during the past twenty-four hours reached 1.211 million barrels. It added that the condensate production amounted to 55 thousand barrels. It noted that the total domestic consumption of natural gas amounted to 955 million cubic feet during the past 24 hours.
