During “Flusna”, a television programme broadcasted on WTV channel and Tabadul Platform, the legal expert and Director of the Economic Saloon, Taha Bara, denied the rumours that Libya is exporting electric power to neighbouring countries.
Having considered an official technical report submitted in 2019 by the General People’s Committee, Taha Bara stressed that Libya suffers from an issue related to power production and distribution.
He also added that the report highlighted the causes of the crisis. For instance, demographic growth, development projects that will drain a lot of energy and expected to be accomplished, in addition to projects that have not ended yet are the main reasons.
“We cannot excuse neither GECOL, nor the government or parliament for the ongoing power outages in a Limited consuming country,” he said.
“We suffer from two main points, the first of which is the excessive consumption of energy and the second is the long-hour power cuts,” Said Bara, adding that the state monopolizes the use of force and law enforcement.
Taha Bara also announced that the Economic Saloon intends to make accurate recommendations to GECOL and express its aspiration, including opening up to the private sector, reconsidering and restructuring the Statute.
