[size=52]Electricity confirms an increase in the production of its plants by 4 thousand megawatts compared to last year[/size]

[size=45]Baghdad/Bright news[/size]
[size=45]The Ministry of Electricity stated that the national system has witnessed an increase of 4,000 megawatts compared to last year, noting that the secession incidents in the southern governorates came as an emergency matter that would be dealt with within a short time, stressing that its causes are related to high temperatures in addition to other symptoms.[/size]
[size=45]And the Ministry of Electricity had stated in a previous statement received by (Al-Mada), that “the international weather report indicated that the regions of southern and central Iraq entered the international table of the highest temperatures recorded in the world, marking the beginning of the gradual thermal rise for the next ten thermal days, with degrees exceeding fifty degrees Celsius.”[/size]
[size=45]The statement added, "The ministry calls on citizens to take into account the unprecedented rise in temperatures, rationalize energy consumption, turn off lights, and unnecessary electrical appliances, and reduce loads."[/size]
[size=45]He pointed out, "This comes in order to preserve the stability of the system and to enable the system to keep pace with demand and not negatively affect the processing hours."[/size]
[size=45]The ministry's spokesman, Ahmed Moussa, said, "The ministry started early in preparing the plan for operating electricity in the summer by conducting periodic and emergency maintenance."[/size]
[size=45]Moussa added, in a statement to Al-Mada, that "the ministry's efforts have achieved an increase in production by nearly 4,000 megawatts compared to last year."[/size]
[size=45]He pointed out, "Strategic lines have entered the service, which has achieved a kind of stability for the network, while supporting and rehabilitating the distribution sector with parts that were available."[/size]
[size=45]Moussa pointed out, "The lack of approval of the budget has had a significant impact on our plans that were prepared for the summer, however, the citizen has sensed an improvement in the processing hours," noting that "the ministry has a plan to add more operational quantities, whether by linking with countries Neighborhood or solar energy projects.[/size]
[size=45]He stressed, "What happened during the past two days, are technical problems that occur for equipment, transmission lines and obstetric units."[/size]
[size=45]Moussa stated that "an accident occurred at the end of last week and caused the separation of the southern region, which are the governorates of Basra, Maysan and Dhi Qar, and led to the explosion of the circuit breaker and a disruption of one of the currents, which led to the separation of a number of transmission lines and obstetric units."[/size]
[size=45]He continues, "Our staff quickly mobilized their efforts, and began isolating the scene of the accident and returning the obstetric lines and units to work."[/size]
[size=45]Moussa stressed, "The incident was repeated yesterday in the southern region, as it is linked with Wasit Governorate through two energy transmission lines, namely the (Amin - Wasit) line and the (East Rusafa - Wasit) line."[/size]
[size=45]And he added, "The (East of Rusafa - Wasit) line was exposed to gunfire, and the accident led to its separation from both sides, and the loads shifted to the (Amin - Wasit) line, which faced high energy withdrawals with high temperatures, and therefore the southern region separated from the system."[/size]
[size=45]Moussa noted that "the repair took about two hours, as the lines, units and system were restored to work."[/size]
[size=45]He stated, "The Minister of Electricity, Adel Karim, had nightly field visits to the National Control Center and Wasit Station, and the lines and units were returned to work."[/size]
[size=45]Moussa added, "The system needs a few hours in order for the equipment to stabilize and return to what it was before the separation incident."[/size]
[size=45]For his part, the head of the Parliamentary Energy Committee, Khaled al-Samarrai, said that "the committee is constantly following up the work of the Ministry of Electricity and the preparations it made for the summer."[/size]
[size=45]Al-Samarrai continued, "The ministry confirmed that the reason behind the decline in equipment or cases of separation in the system, as happened in the southern governorates recently, is the result of the significant rise in temperatures."[/size]
[size=45]He pointed out that "Iraq dealt with the issue of previous debts for Iranian gas amounts, and paid them all through the Emergency Support Law for Food Security and Development," stressing that "the ministry says that production has reached the highest levels by about 23 thousand megawatts."[/size]
[size=45]Al-Samarrai finds, “The radical solution to the issue of electricity is through a shift to investment in the distribution sector, with the need to install smart meters and reduce waste rates.”[/size]
[size=45]He stressed, "The system is subjected to two types of abuse, the first is by bypassing slums that are created without planning and other regions participate in their electric quotas, and the second type is by bypassing some governorates on their quotas established by the ministry."[/size]
[size=45]Al-Samarrai called for "the re-working of a number of thermal stations owned by Iraq, especially in Wasit, Salah al-Din and Yusufiyah."[/size]
[size=45]Al-Samarrai concluded, “It is not possible to rely on Iranian gas without setting a specific time limit, and we must develop our gas-producing fields in order to achieve self-sufficiency and that we do not need to import again.”[/size]
[size=45]The scourge of corruption that afflicts state institutions is one of the reasons for the continuation of the energy crisis, in addition to the networks’ exposure to actual problems outside the control of the state, including the low levels of the Tigris and Euphrates rivers, the suspension of some power stations in dams, and terrorist operations against electricity transmission towers from time to time. In addition to the continuing increasing demand for the current at an annual rate of about two thousand megawatts.[/size]
