The Minister of Electricity, Ali Saadi Wuhaib, issued strict directives to the ministry's staff across all sectors to implement immediate technical and field plans aimed at containing lost electrical power and addressing bottlenecks in the national grid. These measures come in response to the increased loads during the summer season and the challenges of imported fuel supplies. The directives included launching emergency maintenance campaigns, rapid response to citizens' complaints, removing illegal encroachments on the grid, and gradually bringing generating units and transmission lines back into service. The Minister emphasized the importance of full mobilization of engineering and technical staff to ensure the stability of the system and improve the quality of supply hours for citizens during peak times.
