Libya’s General Electricity Company has confirmed the arrival of a shipment of spare parts supplied by the German energy firm Siemens, as part of a broader strategy to strengthen the country’s power infrastructure.
The delivery, announced on Thursday, forms a key component of the company’s comprehensive plan to renovate and develop power generation units across multiple cities and regions, ahead of the anticipated winter peak in electricity demand.
The shipment comprises 16 parcels intended for the Al-Ruwais power station in the Western Mountains, which is currently undergoing extensive maintenance and the upgrade of several of its production units. Another set of 16 parcels has been allocated to the North Benghazi power station.
According to the General Electricity Company, these new parts will enhance operational efficiency and increase production capacity, helping to ensure that the plants can operate reliably and sustainably for an extended period.
“The arrival of these components is crucial to maintaining a stable electricity supply and preparing our infrastructure for the increased demand during the winter months,” the company said in a statement.
The initiative reflects ongoing efforts by Libya to modernize its power sector, reduce disruptions, and meet the growing energy needs of households and businesses. By upgrading its facilities and incorporating advanced technology from international partners like Siemens, the country aims to strengthen the resilience and performance of its electricity grid.
The General Electricity Company has indicated that further shipments and technical upgrades are planned in the coming months as part of its long-term development strategy. These measures are expected to play a pivotal role in supporting economic activity and improving the quality of life for residents across the country.
