Libya’s electricity access rose to 77.4% of population in 2024.

Higher is better. A higher share is better because each added person can light a home, keep food cold and charge a phone. Libya's latest figure is 77.4% of population in 2024, up from 73.2% a year earlier, a rise of 4.2 percentage points. Since 2015 the lowest reading was 67% of population in 2018. The 2024 figure is the highest in that span, so the country sits at the top of its own range.

Why it matters. For Libyan households, 77.4% of population with access means most people can count on a connection, while those outside it depend on other sources of power or go without. Clinics, water pumping and firms rely on that connection to operate. The rise from 73.2% of population a year earlier shows the network reaching more people, and the next annual reading will show whether that continues.
