The Media Spokesperson for the state General Electricity Company of Libya (GECOL), Weam Al-Tayeb, told Libya Herald, in an exclusive interview, that the first unit of the Zueitina gas-powered station has been restarted after the completion of the maintenance works supervised by Algec Company.

Algec for Energy company was established in the 2004 as a joint venture company between GECOL and Alstom (then General Electric). The company provides gas and steam turbines maintenance services.

Algec-GECOL service agreement
The Zueitina power station has a capacity of 50 megawatts. The maintenance comes within the support agreement signed between GECOL and Algec, which will contribute to improving the network situation and increasing production capacity, the Spokesperson explained.

“The total capacity of the Zueitina station is 560 MW, which was introduced to the public electricity network in 2010 and continued to work until it stopped and partially went out of work seven years ago due to the absence of maintenance work as a result of the state of instability during the past years.”, Al-Tayeb added.

Work is still underway to maintain the rest of the units according to the maintenance plan.
