The spokesman for the Government of National Unity, Mohamed Hammuda, said today, Sunday, that the gas supply crisis resulting from the suspension of oil production and export resulted in the loss of nearly 1,000 megawatts of output from the public network, and that the continuation of this closure would aggravate and double the crisis, according to the estimates of the company’s management and specialists.
Hammuda explained that the National Unity Government is still seeking with all employees of the General Electricity Company to try and overcome the gas supply crisis and its impact on the network. The Government formed an operations room from the professional sectors to support efforts to resolve the crisis. However, the reasons are still directly related to stopping production and export.
He added that the National Unity Government demands that the Office of the Attorney General initiates an investigation into the elements behind the closure of the oil fields, noting that closing the oil fields and justifying it by political parties is a crime against the Libyan people by all standards and that the government will not tolerate the prosecution of those involved.
