In a significant step toward developing Libya's renewable energy sector, Expertise France — the French government's international technical cooperation agency — has signed a training cooperation agreement with the National Oil Corporation's (NOC) Petroleum Training and Rehabilitation Institute in Sebha. The initiative, funded by the European Union, aims to equip a new generation of Libyan professionals with cutting-edge skills in clean energy technology.
The memorandum of understanding, signed on May 14, 2026, stipulates the implementation of advanced specialized training programs in renewable energy targeting third-year students enrolled at the Sebha institute as well as several of its trainers. The curriculum is designed to develop technical and technological competencies aligned with the modern demands of the labor market, as Libya seeks to diversify its energy mix beyond its traditional reliance on oil and gas.
The European Union Delegation in Libya welcomed the agreement, describing it as a concrete investment in the country's human capital and institutional capacity. "This cooperation supports practical renewable energy training for students enrolled in the Institute's renewable energy track, while also strengthening the capacities of trainers to ensure lasting impact," the EU Delegation stated. "For the EU, this is a concrete investment in Libya's people, institutions, and energy future. By supporting technical skills, employability, and clean economy opportunities, we help prepare a new generation of Libyan professionals for the needs of the labor market and for the country's energy transition."
The choice of Sebha as the host city for this initiative is strategically significant. Located in Libya's Fezzan region in the south, the city sits at the heart of the country's vast solar energy potential. Southern Libya receives some of the highest solar irradiation levels in the world, making it an ideal location for renewable energy projects and the training of specialists who will develop them.
The NOC's Petroleum Training and Rehabilitation Institute has long been a cornerstone of Libya's efforts to build domestic expertise in the energy sector. This new partnership marks a notable expansion of its mandate into renewable energy, reflecting a broader global trend among oil-producing nations to prepare their workforces for a transitioning energy landscape.
Libya, Africa's largest proven oil producer, has faced years of political instability and conflict that have hampered infrastructure development and economic diversification. International partnerships such as this one are seen as vital to rebuilding the country's technical capabilities and creating employment opportunities for its young and growing population.
The training program is expected to serve as a model for future cooperation between Libyan institutions and international partners in the renewable energy sector, with potential for expansion to other institutes and regions across the country.
