And Jabbar, that "
"Our energy consumption during the last few days was limited to operating the necessary equipment and extinguishing all the lights and cooling devices and others when we left the rooms of the house, and we were keen to commit to do so to benefit us and other citizens from this experience launched by the Karbala Electricity Distribution Department." Jabbar added that " And the public interest should be committed to rationalize the consumption of electrical energy in his home and work place, "stressing that" the rationalization should not be limited to homes only and that the shopkeepers are committed to this, especially those who put dozens of lights in their shop without indifference. " Chairman of the Committee on Energy and Fuel in the Karbala Provincial Council, Reza Al-Silawi, in an interview with (the extent), that "the program of rationalization of energy consumption is the first of its kind, which applies in Iraq and has included three residential neighborhoods in the city with a different standard of living."
He explained that "
One of these neighborhoods used to consume 10 megawatts of power and electrocution for two hours in exchange for firefighting for another. On the first day of the rationalization program, its consumption dropped to eight and a half megawatts and the next day reached six megawatts, " he said. came as a result of citizens ' commitment to rationalization, and we hope to continue this commitment and prevail in the various segments of the society to circulate this experience to the rest of the city 's neighborhoods.

"The energy supplied to the three neighborhoods is not part of the rest of the province, but allocated 50 megawatts of additional electricity from the Ministry of Electricity, and this addition was not consumed, but increased to four megawatts of each district after the work rationalization.
"Karbala consumes energy at the present time about 700 megawatts and we have great problems in distribution, because of the chaos of consumption and the excesses on networks by citizens," he said, "the problem of electrification that it is not production, but consumption and a solution only rationalization and all Citizens should be aware of this.
