 Since energy prices are heavily subsidised in all economic sectors in Libya, it is difficult to foster renewable energies and energy efficiency on a cost-effective basis. Renewable energies are not utilised in significant amounts and only 5 MW solar energy, separated into several small PV projects, have been installed yet.<ref name="RCREEE, Provision of Technical Support/Services for an Economical, Technological and Environmental Impact Assessment of National Regulations and Incentives Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency, Country Report Libya, http://www.rcreee.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/RS_CountryReport_Libya_2009_EN.pdf">RCREEE, Provision of Technical Support/Services for an Economical, Technological and Environmental Impact fckLRAssessment of National Regulations and Incentives Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency, Country Report Libya, http://www.rcreee.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/RS_CountryReport_Libya_2009_EN.pdf</ref><ref name="RCREEE Country Prolile Renewable Energy in Libya 2012, http://www.rcreee.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/RCREEE_CountryProfile_RE_2012_EN_Libya.pdf">RCREEE Country Prolile Renewable Energy in Libya 2012, http://www.rcreee.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/RCREEE_CountryProfile_RE_2012_EN_Libya.pdf</ref>

-Regarding finance and investments, Libya does nor have an RE fund for financing RE projects. The currently planned projekts are planned to be financed through government budget. Since the power sector is still closed for private investors, there are nor financial guarantees to private investors to ensure payment under power purchase agreements by the Libyan government.
