Minister of Local Government Badad Qansu, along with the Director of the General Electricity Company of Libya (GECOL) Abdul-Majid Hamza attended Tuesday the announcement of the agreement reached by the municipalities in the western region on the equitable distribution of load shedding.

The Municipality of Zuwara explained via its Facebook that the agreement excluded the desalination plant from the load shedding program, adding that constant meetings are on between directors of the electricity company's departments and power stations officials to ensure the smooth implementation of the agreement.

The Municipality of Zuwara added that the entire region is suffering from long hours of power outage, which resulted in the suspension of the desalination plant.

The agreement on the equitable distribution of loads among the municipalities of the Western region was announced in the city of Zuwara following the high rates of power cuts in most cities in the west.
