Maghreb heatwave causes power outages
The Maghreb countries are experiencing a severe heatwave that has led to increased electricity demand and significant power outages in Libya, Tunisia, and Algeria. In Libya, poor management and corruption caused the collapse of the power grid, resulting in the loss of around 1,350 megawatts of production capacity, amid efforts to restart the plants through an agreement with Egypt. In Tunisia, temperatures exceeding 48°C prompted the implementation of a rotational power cutoff system in 96 areas to prevent a total grid collapse, with emergency protocols activated in hospitals. Algeria experienced widespread outages that were quickly restored. The crisis continues due to rising consumption and deteriorating infrastructure, with calls for officials to assume their responsibilities and investigations into corruption and administrative weakness.
