Power outage impacts water supply
The Sirt-Tazrouk pipeline system, part of the Great Man-Made River Project in Libya, experienced a new power outage on July 24, 2026. This outage caused all the wells at the Sirt and Tazrouk fields to go offline, leading to disruptions in water supply and reductions in some cities for 24 hours. Power began to return to the fields between 9 and 11 a.m., as efforts by the teams continued to restore the system and stabilize the voltage. This is the fourth outage within a week and follows the stoppage of several wells due to a unit at the power station going out of service, amidst repeated electrical failures and their impact on continuous water pumping. The Great Man-Made River System is one of Libya's most vital water sources and requires stable electricity to operate continuously.
