Libya faces escalating electricity crisis
Libya is facing a renewed electricity crisis following a widespread outage caused by a sudden collapse of the national grid. This resulted in significant power outages across most regions of the country, especially during the peak of summer and high temperatures, leading to the disruption of essential services and citizens relying on private generators. Authorities confirmed that the loss of more than 1,350 megawatts of production capacity is the cause of the blackout, with efforts underway to restore the grid by activating generation units and connecting lines with Egypt. Meanwhile, the Prime Minister blamed the management of the General Electricity Company for failure, criticizing their inability to improve the situation despite billions of dinars spent. Experts attribute the ongoing crisis to weak infrastructure, lack of maintenance, and delays in development projects. Public and parliamentary criticism continues regarding the sector’s inefficiency and limited transparency, despite the substantial funds allocated.
