The first major infrastructure project to be built in Libya in nearly nine years, this 671-MW power plant in Tripoli faced very strict security requirements, international political restrictions and COVID-19 protocols.

The construction team worked double shifts to fast-track the project, in an effort to quickly resolve a lack of sufficient electricity within the city—an issue that caused regular blackouts lasting 9-10 hours per day affecting more than 1 million residents. The plant is designed to be a stable and reliable power source, even in times of high demand. Levels of redundancy were built into its systems to ensure that no one component could cause power failure.
