A delegation from the US energy giant, General Electric (GE) met with the Chairman of the General Electricity Company of Libya (GECOL) to discuss joint cooperation in order to improve the electricity sector in Libya, especially in the field of station maintenance.
“GE also expressed its full readiness to support and stand with GECOL, to overcome all difficulties it faces,” the statement added.
The meeting, which was held in Tripoli, was attended by a member of the Board of Directors of GECOL, Abdel-Hakim Al-Ferjani, the Assistant General Manager for Operation Affairs, Salah Al-Khafifi, and the General Manager for Production, Kamal Abdullah Daw.
Since 2011, Libya has been suffering from a deficit in electricity production. GECOL has adopted a program of load shedding hours on various cities and regions. The power cuts at peak times, especially in the summer months, exceed 12 hours a day.
