The Chairman of the Board of Directors of the General Electricity Company of Libya (GECOL) Wiam Al-Abdali said that the electrical network has reached a very high rate in the growth of the use of electrical energy consumption, being 12%.

In a workshop on domestic demand for natural gas, Al-Abdali explained that the annual growth is huge in a country like Libya, which has suffered from several political problems throughout the years.

Al-Abdali pointed out that the Electricity Company is working in partnership with the National Oil Corporation (NOC) to produce electrical power, due to its contract with companies working with the NOC.

He reiterated that the most relevant contract is an agreement with the French Total to produce 500 megawatts of renewable energy.
