The General Electricity Company of Libya (GECOL) announced the completion of the major overhaul work on the sixth gas unit at the Ruwais power station located in the Western Mountain region.

The company indicated in a statement that the spindle has been inserted into the main generator of the sixth gas unit by specialists from the German energy company Siemens, as part of the long-term maintenance contract.

It added that the unit is expected to enter the public network in the next several days.

The company said the overhaul comes within efforts to harness all capabilities in order to raise the electricity network's performance before the summer usage peak.
