Libyan power grid under summer pressure
Libya's electricity grid is facing a severe crisis during the summer, as most areas experienced widespread outages due to many power plants going offline, resulting in a loss of approximately 1,350 megawatts of generation capacity. The causes of the collapse include the disconnection of the transmission line between Misrata and Al Khums, damage to Zawiya power station due to security clashes, and reduced gas supplies from the southwestern fields. To address the crisis, Brega Oil Marketing Company increased diesel allocations for stations in western Tripoli by 50%, and electricity supply to Libya via the interconnection line with Egypt was resumed after a payment of $100 million. The Libyan government has taken emergency measures, including repairing faults and providing equipment, in an effort to prevent repeated severe outages and to stabilize the grid, amid accusations of corruption and shortages of fuel and gas affecting generation operations.
