The Prime Minister of the Government of National Unity, Abdul Hamid Dbeibeh told the French website “Jeune Afrique” that the electrical stations in Libya have not been subject to maintenance for 10 years, and some of them are more than 40 years old, and therefore they are out of service.”

He explained in an exclusive interview to the website that “the national unity government has spent 1 billion dinars on periodic maintenance of electrical stations, and they still need more, with delays in work due to the difficulty of obtaining spare parts for these stations because they are old.”

Dbeibeh stated that “the hours of unloading loads will decrease starting from July 7, as soon as the new stations in Tobruk, Misrata and Janzour are operational, indicating that the outages will not disappear completely, but we will not witness complete darkness, and we still need a number of stations to cover the deficit.”
