GECOL launches prepaid electricity metres pilot project

The state General Electricity Company of Libya reported yesterday that it has launched a pilot project to install prepaid card electricity metres. The pilot project has started in the Tripoli district of Zawiat Al-Dahmani.

GECOL says the pilot project comes within the context of developing consumer services, diversifying the methods of revenue collection, reducing commercial waste and billing, and in light of the lack of capabilities, the country’s deficit in power generation and the excessive public consumption of electricity.

The plan is to rolled out the project later in the year to the rest of the country.
