Libya’s General Electricity Company is continuing work on the Gharyan 11/66 kV injection station, focusing on the preparation and installation of cable heads as part of a broader effort to strengthen the country’s power network.
The project, which encompasses 18 internal and external phases, is being managed by the company’s Gharyan Distribution Projects Department.
Officials say the work is part of an ongoing programme to ensure the continuity of electricity supply and improve the efficiency of network infrastructure in the region.
According to the company, the transformer has already been delivered and installed, and the station’s connection from the 220 kV side has been completed.
Teams are now working on installing the remaining phases, a process expected to take several weeks.
“These steps are essential to strengthening the network components and raising operational efficiency in Gharyan,” the General Electricity Company stated on its Facebook page.
“The work is progressing under strict supervision to ensure quality and safety standards are maintained.”
The Gharyan project is one of several initiatives being implemented to address long-standing challenges in Libya’s power sector, which has faced frequent disruptions due to aging infrastructure and increasing demand.
By modernising substations and expanding the network, the authorities aim to provide more stable and reliable electricity to households and businesses alike.
Local residents and businesses in Gharyan have expressed cautious optimism, welcoming the development as a potential boost to economic activity and quality of life.
The General Electricity Company has emphasised that careful planning and phased implementation are crucial to minimise service interruptions during the construction period.
Once fully operational, the Gharyan 11/66 kV injection station is expected to play a pivotal role in maintaining continuous electricity supply across the region, reinforcing Libya’s broader efforts to modernise its national power grid.
