Libya's GECOL to add over 600 MW to national grid to alleviate power cuts

The General Electricity Company of Libya GECOL announced that new generation units are nearing production and will contribute over 600 megawatts to the national grid. This initiative aims to boost production capacity and stabilize the electricity supply. The additional power will come from three stations: a 250 MW gas unit at the Zueitina plant, a 220 MW gas unit at the Zawia plant, and a 160 MW gas unit at the Ubari plant. This development follows a period of increasing power cuts and organized load shedding across Libya since June. The Tripoli government has prioritized supplying electricity to domestic users over industrial consumers, a policy that has impacted sectors like cement production and led to increased cement prices.
