Türkiye may play a role in Libya's efforts to diversify its energy mix by adding more clean energy resources at a time when the country seeks to expand renewable energy resources and its economy is beginning to recover from the wounds of yearslong political unrest. In a significant shift in the North African country's energy sector, traditionally dominated by hydrocarbons, the focus is now placed on including renewable energy, driven by increasing energy security concerns and rising demand. This ambitious plan, set to change the energy dynamics in the North African region, targets a 20% renewable energy mix in Libya's energy sector by 2035. The renewable energy mix will prominently feature solar, wind and concentrated solar power (CSP), Elansari said. He also emphasized the importance of international cooperation in achieving Libya's renewable energy target.
