Athens-based METKA EPC has signed a $380 million contract with east Libya-based the General Authority for Electricity and Renewable Energy of the Interim Government to construct a power plant in Tobruk. The power plant would be METKA’s first major project in Libya. METKA is a leading international contractor and industrial manufacturing company. It is a member of the Mytilineos Group, the leading independent energy producer in Greece. Libya has been plunged into chronic power outages that affected most of the country’s cities and towns where blackouts last for several hours on a daily basis.
