[size=52]The decline in Iranian gas costs electricity 8,000 megawatts[/size]
[size=45]The hours of power cuts in Baghdad and the governorates exceeded nearly 20 hours a day, at a time when temperatures have decreased greatly, and this comes in conjunction with Iran stopping supplying electricity and gas to Iraq on the pretext of debts owed by Iraq, amounting to one billion and 690 million dollars. The spokesman for the Ministry of Electricity, Ahmed Moussa, said in an interview with (Al-Mada), that "the suspended amount of electric power due to the stopping of Iranian gas exceeded 8000 megawatts, in addition to the lack of a complete fuel plan in Iraq during the current year."[/size]
[size=45]Moussa stressed, “Reducing national gas supplies by 50% due to bad weather, and Iran reducing its gas supplies to Iraq from 50 million cubic meters per day to about 8 million only, which led to the limitation of loads and the suspension of many obstetric units in production plants, This negatively affected the processing hours and the provision of electricity to citizens.”[/size]
[size=45]For his part, the energy expert, Moayyed Al-Ali, told Al-Mada that “the electrical connection with the Gulf countries is not compatible with the nature of the Iraqi energy system, in addition to the fact that transportation over large distances wastes large amounts of energy, which requires the establishment of power stations across power lines. Ground transportation, which costs a lot of money.”[/size]
[size=45]Al-Ali added, "Iraq does not have a policy and planning with regard to electrical energy, due to international and regional interventions in this aspect," calling for "the ministries of Oil and Electricity to work on energy production and self-sufficiency, especially since Iraq possesses the ingredients for successful electricity production." He pointed out that "the local energy production operations do not cost the state a lot of money, compared to the import operations and the prosthetic maintenance of power stations, but this matter requires a political decision to get out of international interventions." Iraq currently produces 15,000 megawatts of electricity, much less than the 30,000 megawatts needed to meet its needs, according to energy experts.[/size]
[size=45]Energy expert Salah Ahmed Baqer said, "Iraq suffers from the problem of corruption that hinders the development and production of energy," adding that "Iraq's resort to Iran to import electricity and gas is one of the biggest mistakes of successive Iraqi governments, because Iraq possesses large quantities of natural and associated gas. “. Baqir added to (Al-Mada), that "the large quantities of gas owned by Iraq can produce electrical energy and achieve great sufficiency from the local need, in addition to operating many of the suspended factories due to the lack of sufficient gas."[/size]
[size=45]The expert held the Iraqi side "responsible for stopping Iranian gas because the Iraqi government has failed to pay its dues in favor of Iran related to the electricity and gas costs that Iran exports to Iraq," stressing that "the Iraqi governments do not have the full will to solve the electricity problem and other internal problems due to the absence of Professional and scientific competencies for decision-making centers.[/size]
