The Brega Petroleum Marketing Company has announced it will increase daily fuel allocations in the region to nearly 2 million liters. This aims to address the worsening fuel crisis in southern Libya.
In a statement, the company stated that the expanded supply will include both gasoline and diesel, aiming to restore stability to fuel distribution networks across the south.
The decision comes after a series of discussions between Brega officials and members of the High Council of State, including Council member Saleh Mukhtar, who confirmed the plans following meetings in Tripoli on Saturday.
According to Mukhtar, the company has also committed to opening three fuel stations that will operate 24 hours a day in the towns of Bent Bayya, Al-Gharifa, and Ubari. These stations will be critical to reducing wait times and ensuring continuous access to fuel, especially in areas hardest hit by shortages.
In addition to expanding supply and operating hours, Brega will begin constructing new distribution stations in the southern region that will be directly managed by the company. This move is intended to reduce dependence on intermediaries and curb widespread fuel smuggling and black-market activity, which have contributed to chronic shortages.
Fuel access has become a major concern in the south, where residents often face long queues, inflated prices, and delivery delays. The fuel crisis has disrupted transportation, agriculture, and public services, deepening frustration among local communities.
The company’s new strategy, backed by the National Oil Corporation and Ministry of Oil and Gas, reflects a broader effort to implement more transparent and efficient fuel distribution systems across Libya.
Officials hope that these measures will bring meaningful relief to the region and restore confidence in the state’s ability to manage essential services.
