Power Crisis in Libya: Eastern and southern Libya, plus parts of the west, suffered a complete power outage early Saturday, with the cause and restoration time still unclear as heatwave conditions and grid damage continue to fuel near-daily protests. Renewables Push: The Government of National Unity announced new solar projects, including hybrid systems for mosques, schools and public buildings, and progress on the 500-megawatt Al-Saddadah plant to ease pressure on the grid. Oil & Gas Update: Libya’s NOC said maintenance at the Abu Attifel field’s A-24 well boosted oil output from 403 to 1,201 barrels per day and raised gas production to 6.42 million standard cubic feet per day. Regional Cooperation: Libya and Algeria signed a customs cooperation deal to improve border security and crack down on smuggling and organized crime. Diplomacy: Libya’s ambassador to Turkey met Turkish officials on residency procedures for Libyan patients and students and on handling deportation and detainee cases. Energy Deal Abroad: Libya’s wider energy context also includes a government-to-government LNG import plan reported elsewhere in the region, highlighting how long-term gas supply contracts remain a key policy lever.
