Libya’s Ministry of Electricity has launched 20 strategic electricity projects to strengthen power grid reliability in the Jabal Al-Akhdar and Al-Batnan regions. These projects aim to address critical challenges such as low voltage, grid bottlenecks, and power fluctuations. Key efforts include replacing damaged cables, upgrading network routes, and connecting new power stations. The initiatives are expected to resolve significant bottlenecks in neighborhoods across Al-Bayda and Tobruk.
The projects are part of a broader government strategy to modernize Libya’s power infrastructure, enhance generation capacity, and reduce the nation’s power production deficit. By March 2023, Libya’s total installed generation capacity had reached 8,200 MW. The General Electricity Company of Libya (GECOL) projects peak electricity demand will rise to 14,834 MW by 2025 and 21,669 MW by 2030.
