The Head of the General Electricity Company of Libya (GECOL), Wiam Al-Abdali, met on Thursday with the Prime Minister of the Government of National Unity (GNU), Abdulhamid Dbeibeh, and the Governor of the Central Bank, Al-Siddiq Al-Kabir.
During the meeting, Al-Abdali said that Libya could see five hours of rolling blackout a day in the peak summer heat, but there couldn’t be any power outages if GECOL managed to provide additional 1500 megawatts, adding that they have a plan to produce 1200/1500 megawatts to end the crisis of power outages and decrease rolling blackout hours immensely.
For his part, Dbeibeh confirmed the need to end the obstacles facing GECOL in order to help the company with providing better services to Libyans.
