PWPS Delivers Two Fast-track FT8® MOBILEPAC® Units to Libya

P&WA will install the units in Tripoli as part of a turnkey agreement with Qatar Fund for Development (QFFD) in support of the Qatar government’s humanitarian efforts to support the people of Libya.

Qatar Fund for Development’s director general, Khalifa bin Jassim Al Kuwari, signed the agreement with General Electricity Company of Libya and the director general of the U.S. company Power & Water Alliance LLC. GECOL will own and operate the gas turbines which will run on diesel fuel oil and are expected to be operational in the spring of 2017.
