Iraq <\/strong>to double its imports of Turkish electricity:<\/strong> The Iraqi Electricity Ministry and its Turkish counterpart reached an agreement to double Iraq\u2019s imported electricity through the Iraq-Turkey interconnection line to 600 MW, the Iraq News Agency<\/a> reports. The increased power imports are set to take place over the next few months, INA quotes Turkish Electricity Minister Alparslan Bayraktar as saying. <\/p>\n

About the interconnector: <\/strong>The 115-km Iraqi-Turkish interconnection project \u2014 the Kask-Jazra 400 kv line \u2014 became operational last July, initially planned to supply Iraq with 300 MW<\/a> from Turkey during the summer, INA reported then. The line is also set to connect Iraq to the international grid, passing through Turkey to the EU.<\/p>\n

REMEMBER- Iranian-sourced energy imports are out of the picture: <\/strong>The US terminated a<\/a>waiver<\/a> earlier this month that allowed Iraq to import Iranian electricity. The US is also pressuring Iraq to reduce its imports of Iranian gas \u2014 which is responsible for one-third of Iraq\u2019s 27 GW of electricity capacity<\/a>. The country has a power supply shortage of up to 13 GW at peak times<\/p>\n

ICYMI-<\/strong> Last week, Iraq pivoted to Oman and Qatar<\/a> for natural gas supplies to compensate for the loss of Iranian power.<\/p>\n

Iraq is targeting power self-sufficiency, with plans to stop importing natural gas by 2028<\/strong>, Asharq Business<\/a> reported last month, citing Iraq\u2019s Prime Minister Mohammed Shia' Al Sudani. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
