The Renewable Energy Authority of Libya (REAoL) announced that it has installed at two hospitals hybrid solar power systems that can export surplus electricity back to the public grid (On-Grid System) when power is available and automatically switch to an independent system (Off-Grid System) during power outages.
Last Sunday (9 October), REAoL installed a solar energy system on the roof of the Qasr Khayyar Rural Hospital. This system aims to cover electrical loads and ensure a continuous power supply during frequent power outages. Last Tuesday (11 October), REAoL announced it had installed a similar hybrid system at Zintan Kidney Centre.
The first of its kind in Libya
REAoL claims this technology is the first of its kind in Libya, which it says represents a qualitative step enabling the utilization of solar energy in all circumstances, thus enhancing energy security and sustainability within vital healthcare facilities.
This project is part of the Renewable Energy Authority’s efforts to support the national transition towards clean energy and contribute to building a green and climate-secure future.
Part of new Prime Minister’s directive 8444 to install solar systems at all government buildings
It is also in accordance with the Circular 8444 of 28/08/25 issued by the Cabinet Office, which urges all public entities and institutions funded by the Public Treasury to coordinate with REAoL and work in adopting renewable energy technologies to meet their needs of electrical energy, and in line with the National Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency Strategy, which includes the Go Green initiative towards a sustainable future,
In this context, REAoL said it looks forward to all public institutions and entities in communicating and cooperating with them in supporting the implementation of this initiative, in a way that contributes to spreading the use of renewable energy technologies and reducing the burden on the public electricity grid.
