Gecol adds new capacity and hopes for return of contractors to Libya

The management of General Electric Company of Libya (Gecol) is striving to add every possible megawatt to the national grid before the holy month of Ramadan, which this year starts in mid-May. With peak demand expected during the summer months, efforts to resume and even complete key projects are being revived. Similar efforts in previous years have been undermined by security problems, budget constraints and political interference. These threats remain.
