The Libya Energy & Economic Summit (LEES) returns to Tripoli for its fourth edition, taking place from 24–26 January 2026 under the official endorsement of the Office of the Prime Minister, Ministry of Oil & Gas, National Oil Corporation (NOC), and the Renewable Energy Authority of Libya (REAOL).
The organisers informed Libya Herald that this year’s event marks a major step forward in Libya’s efforts to engage global partners and attract new investment into the country’s energy and economic landscape.
Technical Workshops
For the first time, LEES 2026 will extend its programme to include a full day of Technical Workshops, offering participants in-depth discussions on upstream operations, exploration, and technology-driven innovation. These sessions will serve as a practical knowledge-sharing platform for both Libyan and international energy professionals.
Libya Bid Round 2025
With the Libya Bid Round 2025 currently underway, the organisers said the Summit is set to draw strong participation from leading international companies seeking to understand and invest in Libya’s next phase of energy development. Building on the success of last year’s U.S. and Italian Pavilions, LEES 2026 will welcome new national pavilions from the United Kingdom, Turkey and France, further expanding the event’s global reach, as well as including bilateral roundtables with companies from these nations.
Participation of international energy leaders
LEES 2026 will bring together a high-level roster of international energy leaders and institutions, including Eni, TotalEnergies, Repsol, OMV, SLB and ConocoPhillips. Libyan stakeholders will be represented by the National Oil Corporation, the Ministry of Oil and Gas, and the Renewable Energy Authority of Libya, alongside the American Chamber of Commerce in Libya; the Libyan Council for Oil, Gas and Renewable Energy; EnerGeo Alliance; and OPEC.
“LEES 2026 reflects Libya’s renewed commitment to open, transparent engagement with the global energy community at a pivotal moment for the country,” said James Chester, CEO of Energy Capital & Power, the event’s organizer. “By convening leading international companies, institutions and technical experts in Tripoli, the Summit aims to turn dialogue into concrete partnerships that support sustainable growth and long-term value creation.”
‘‘LEES 2026 will once again convene government leaders, energy executives, investors, and service providers from across Libya and abroad, building on three successful editions that have positioned the Summit as Libya’s premier international energy event.’’
