As the increased power and electricity demand increase in Libya due to increase population and rapid demographic growth, economic progress and improvements in energy consumption behaviour coupled with the need from the government to keep the oil and gas as a major source of national income. All these factors could indicate that the Renewable energy is the solution of the increased energy demand problem especially as Libya have more than one of the renewable energies. Despite all of this Renewable energy is still facing challenges in implementation. The challenges are related to Political Barriers, technology Barriers, Social Barriers, which many acts as barriers in the face of implementation and use of renewable energy. Hence, this research aims to investigate the challenges and barriers facing the implementation of renewable energy sources in the Tripoli area in Libya through the use of qualitative research design using interviews with the six of the officials in the Ministry of Electricity and Renewable Energies in Libya, through online meetings using semi-structured interviews .INTERVIEWS were analysed based on thematic analysis where the respondents added in depth analysis of barriers affecting implementation of renewable energy in Libya. Despite the recent political shifts in Libya, it is obvious that renewable energy is still of critical strategic significance. Given the low prices of fossil fuels subsidized by the Libyan government, data analysis revealed that the biggest barrier preventing the Libyan people from switching to clean energy is the political factor, as there are no regulations or laws protecting investors.
