Libya’s Belgassem Haftar Forms Committee to Address Power Crisis

Libya’s Belgassem Haftar Forms Committee to Address Power Crisis
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

Belgassem Haftar, Director of the Reconstruction and Development Fund, has announced the formation of a special committee to tackle Libya’s worsening electricity crisis. The move comes amid rising concerns over power shortages and instability in the national grid.

According to the decision, the committee will be chaired by Abdelati Abdelsalam and include 18 members. Its mandate is to monitor and resolve problems affecting the electricity network in eastern and southern Libya. The body will focus on urgent interventions to address failures in power generation, transmission and distribution, while also working on long-term strategies to stabilise supply.

The decision highlights the pressing nature of the electricity crisis, which has triggered repeated public complaints in many Libyan cities. Frequent blackouts have disrupted daily life, businesses, and public services. By assigning a large committee with technical and administrative expertise, the authorities aim to ensure both rapid response and sustainable reforms in the sector.

This development follows a major shake-up in the energy sector. Libyan Prime Minister Osama Hammad recently dismissed Wi’am Al-Abdali from his position as head of the General Electricity Company, only five months after his appointment. The dismissal reflected dissatisfaction with the company’s performance and mounting pressure to deliver improvements.

The electricity issue has long been one of the most critical challenges for successive Libyan governments. Infrastructure damage, poor maintenance, rising demand and fuel supply problems have all contributed to chronic instability in the power grid. The newly formed committee is expected to coordinate closely with the Ministry of Electricity, regional administrations, and the General Electricity Company to push forward practical solutions.

Observers say Belgassem Haftar’s initiative may mark a turning point, provided the committee delivers tangible results and avoids political divisions that have previously hampered reform.
