In May 2024, ENKA and the General Electricity Company of Libya (GECOL) signed a contract for the 1,320 MW North Benghazi Simple Cycle Power Plant Project and the supply of electrical equipment in the northern part of Benghazi, Libya.

ENKA will undertake the project on a turnkey basis, with the scope of work including all necessary engineering, procurement, construction, erection, installation and commissioning for the power plant to operate safely and reliably under all conditions, in accordance with the contract terms. Furthermore, ENKA will provide training to the GECOL employees who will operate the power plant.

The project is based on a power island configuration featuring 4 sets of SGT5-PAC 4000F Siemens gas turbines and turbine generator units. These dual-fuel gas turbines will primarily use natural gas, with liquid fuel as a backup.

Upon completion, the power plant is expected to generate approximately 1,320 MW of gross electricity at ISO conditions, assuming the use of natural gas. The generated power will be transmitted to a new 400 kV gas-insulated substation (GIS) to supply Libyan national power transmission lines.
