Attack on Zawiya substation causes major outage: Libya’s state power

By GhanaSummary NewsroomSouth Africa

The General Electricity Company of Libya said on Wednesday that an attack on the South Zawiya substation caused a complete outage and loss of power supply to wide areas south of the city of Zawiya.

Renewed violence in the strategic Libyan city of Zawiya has disrupted the oil industry in the OPEC member country, with the country’s National Oil Company saying it could declare force majeure if drone attacks on energy assets in the city continued.

The attack followed explosive-laden drone strikes on fuel storage tanks at the nearby Zawiya oil complex, which hosts Libya’s largest operating refinery.
