Libyans are now enjoying a stable electricity supply in the capital, Tripoli, during the summer. The power cuts that continued for years had grossly affected public life and businesses. The suspension of power cuts marks a significant improvement for Tripoli dwellers. Tripoli has invested heavily in batteries to address the frequent power cuts, while the more affluent people have bought powerful but noisy, polluting, and diesel-guzzling generators, expending several thousand euros.

People living in Tripoli say that there have been marked improvements in electricity supply. Yet, there are still some issues related to strengthening the electrical grid. Libya has struggled with constant power shortages due to a damaged electrical network resulting from armed conflicts and looting. The improvements in the electricity position are due to a number of factors including the recent restructuring in the management of Gecol, coupled with a relative calm after years of war. This positive development has also encouraged foreign companies to resume projects that had been stalled for years.
