London, 6 July 2018:

Contracted electricity projects approved in December generating 2,000 megawatts of power are on hold due to the inability to organize funding, the Libya’s Presidency Council (PC) has revealed. The revelation came through Mohamed El-Sallak, the official spokesperson for Faiez Serraj, the head of the PC during Tuesday’s press conference.

The fast-tracked projects in Tripoli West, Tripoli East and Misrata power stations were intended to overcome Libya’s 1,500 MW generation deficit which has been causing acute powers cuts across the country.

The projects were slated to be financed by the Libyan Local Investment & Development Fund (LLIDF), however, Sallak said that the Audit Bureau objected ‘‘in their view’’ to the financing of these projects on ‘‘legal’’ grounds.
