Under the General Authority for Electricity and Renewable Energy’s 2030 vision to utilize alternative energy sources, the foundation stone for the 100-MW solar plant in Kufra has been laid by Prime Minister Abdullah Thinni earlier this month.
According the reporting by the Libya Herald, the project will be built on an area of 200 hectares and is expected to solve the energy problems of the municipality of Kufra and adjacent areas. It is expected to provide fuel and alleviate the problems of environmental pollution and supply the agricultural project as a first stage.
The project is to be implemented by a Chinese company, the government said.
