The General Electricity Company continues intensive emergency maintenance. This follows directives from its Chairman, Mohammed Al-Mishai. Work focuses on cities and areas affected by the atmospheric depression. The depression swept through the country, especially its western region. It caused widespread damage to the electricity network. This included fallen poles, broken wires, and damaged transmission and distribution lines in several locations.
The company deployed its technical and engineering teams to fault sites. These teams are in various departments and divisions. Readiness has been heightened to address damage from strong winds and heavy rains. The goal is to restore power to citizens. They aim to ensure stable electricity supply as quickly as possible.
These efforts involve laying and pulling replacement wires. They also include restoring broken wires to service. High and low voltage lines are being maintained. Damaged electrical equipment is being inspected. New poles are being installed. Damage to transformers and network components in several areas is also being addressed.
In the South, maintenance teams continued emergency repairs. Teams in the Ghadwa area carried out urgent work. This focused on agricultural transmission lines. It took several hours to restore them to service. This helped bring electricity back to citizens and agricultural projects.
In the Western Region, maintenance work continued. This includes the Industrial Zone distribution circuits. Other locations are Bir Al-Usta Milad, Al-Jadida in Al-Ajaylat, Al-Naqaza, South Zawiya, Abu Sarra, Al-Jamil, West Misrata, Raqdalin, and Al-Shabika. Work also extended to Qasr Bin Ghashir, Al-Karimiya, Souq Al-Jumaa, and the Four Suburbs. Teams focused on rehabilitating the electrical network. They restored broken wires and repaired poles and lines damaged by weather fluctuations.
Work also extended to Bani Walid and Sirte. Maintenance teams continued to rehabilitate and improve the electrical network. They also repaired emergency faults. This included addressing damage to feeder lines for residential areas. It also covered fuel stations and service projects.
Fieldwork by technicians and engineers revealed the extent of network damage in several areas. High and low voltage wires were particularly affected. Some poles had fallen, and lines were out of service. Technical teams addressed these faults with direct interventions. This involved isolating damaged branches. They temporarily operated lines until final repairs. Faulty cables were tested, and defect locations identified for repair.
In this context, technical teams restored power to affected areas at several sites. This followed urgent maintenance on damaged networks. They also operated some transformers and returned lines to service. These efforts aim to reduce outage hours. They also mitigate the effects of the atmospheric depression on citizens.
This work was accompanied by field monitoring and direct supervision in some departments. This ensures rapid intervention and coordination. It involves operations, maintenance, planning, cables, and medium voltage teams. This collaboration helps complete technical solutions. It aims to fully restore the stability of the electrical network.
The General Electricity Company confirmed its teams continue working. They face difficult weather conditions and long hours. Their goal is to address sudden faults. They also aim to secure electricity supply for citizens. The company emphasized ongoing efforts in all regions. This will continue until full network stability is restored.
The company explained that this weather wave did not stop maintenance teams. Instead, it increased their field interventions. This is due to the expanded damage and numerous fault locations. The company affirmed its commitment to continue working. This is to meet citizens’ needs. They also aim to maintain network readiness. They seek to enhance the reliability of the electricity supply during this period.
