ERBIL — Iraq's ministry of electricity and the General Electric company of the US on Thursday signed a memorandum of understanding as part of federal government's plan to upgrade its electricity sector.
Prime Minister Mohammed Shia' al-Sudani presided over the ceremony organized for signing of the memorandum, which aims to "contribute to developing the electricity sector in production, increasing its efficiency in transmission, maintenance, staff training, and reducing carbon emissions to support the energy sector transition in Iraq," said a statement released by al-Sudani's office today.
During the ceremony, al-Sudani reiterated his cabinet's commitment to "improve the energy sector and provide full support to the Ministry of Electricity to increase production and enhance maintenance of power plants in a way that contributes to addressing the problems of power shortage and alleviating the suffering of Iraqi citizens."
Iraq has been suffering from chronic power shortages since its invasion in 2003. And this memorandum comes after the US-Iraq Higher Coordinating Committee convened recently and issued a joint statement on Wednesday, where "the two sides resolved to accelerate efforts to capture flared gas, upgrade natural gas distribution infrastructure and reduce methane leakage, regionally interconnect Iraq’s electricity grid, modernize Iraq’s electricity infrastructure, and explore renewable energy opportunities."
