Libya's electricity generation has declined overall since 2013, and output was an estimated 30 terawatthours (TWh) of power generation in 2022.62 Over a decade of civil war and insufficient maintenance and investment in aging plants and equipment reduced Libya's ability to produce electricity.
Fossil fuels met nearly all of Libya's energy demand, with oil accounting for 57% and natural gas accouting for almost 43% in 2022. Rooftop solar projects met less than 1% of the remaining energy demand.15
Libya's natural gas consumption totaled 305 Bcf in 2023 and accounted for more than 70% of domestic production after 2020 (Figure 5).51 The electric power sector drives Libya's domestic natural gas demand, accounting for about 85% of Libya's domestic natural gas use in 2022.

Libya ranked in the top 10 countries for global proved oil reserves.16 About 95% of Libya''s recoverable reserves are located in the onshore Sirte Basin in the northeast and Murzuq Basin in the southwest.
