Libya is looking to lay an underwater electricity cable to link up with the Italian national grid in Sicily.
Libya Herald reports that the Electricity Minister, Ali Maihriq [Ali Muhairig, Omar al-Mahrigui], did not divulge further details.
The idea of a trans-Mediterranean underwater electricity cable was first mentioned by Deputy Prime Minister Awad Al-Barasi at the Italy-Libya economic forum in January.
