An explosion near western Libya’s Zawiya power plant shut down several electricity units on Saturday, state media reported.
Technical teams immediately launched an investigation to determine the exact cause of the blast, according to the General Electricity Company.
Utility workers are currently attempting to restore power gradually and stabilize the regional energy grid as quickly as possible.
The company issued a public apology for the resulting blackouts, promising uninterrupted repairs until full electrical service resumes across affected areas.
Saturday’s blast follows recent unidentified drone strikes targeting local oil storage tanks, desalination facilities, and nearby power infrastructure.
Those unanswered attacks severely heightened security concerns across the region, though no group has yet claimed responsibility for the strikes.
Local authorities continue investigating the source of the persistent drone operations, aiming to identify those responsible for disrupting critical infrastructure.
