South Korean Daewoo Engineering & Construction (E&C) Co. has signed a memorandum of understanding for the construction of a 450 MW power generation facility at Western Mountain Combined Cycle Power Plant with General Electricity Co. of Libya (GECOL).

The plant is located in Al Hawamind, 200 kilometres south-west of the Libyan capital Tripoli, and will have a total power generation capacity of 900 MW after the completion of the project.

The Korean company also concluded a contract to resume the construction of Zwitina Power Plant which had been put on hold since 2014 due to a civil war in Libya.
