Master Plan Fundamental objectives

• Securing and guarantee the electrical power
  supply to the growing demand of electrical energy
  to all sectors in the country.
• Increasing the level of security and adequacy of
  supply
• Reducing Cost by Improving service quality
  Efficiency
• Reducing technical and non technical losses.
• Reinforcing international Interconnections.

Long Term Load Forecast
Future

• The peak load of electrical power in Libya is
  continuously increasing with a relatively high
  growth rate 8 per annum.

• Recent studies have shown that the expected peak
  demand in Libya in 2?year 2008 will be about 4670
  MW, and the figure is expected to reach 5450 MW
  by year 2010 Approx. 8000 MW 1n 2015.

GECOL Transmission System Master Plan.
Future
A. The New 400 kV Grid

• During The Horizon 2010 the main infrastructure
  for a strong, reliable flexible adequate
  backbone of the new EHV 400 kV Grid will be
  Executed.
• Therefore, the Future plan of the Libyan
  Transmission System is concentrated on the EHV
  400 kV grid.
• Existing

• 2 (400/220 kV) substations

• 442 km lines

Electrical Interconnections

• The internal interconnection of the Libyan
  transmission system has been achieved since 1993
  creating the high voltage 220 kV Libyan national
  grid.
• The electrical networks of Libya and Egypt are
  interconnected on 220 kV voltage level since May
  1998.
• By the End of this year 2008 the electrical
  interconnection between Libya and Tunisia is
  expected to be put into operation on the 220 kV.
