    [size=52]Electricity loses 6 thousand megawatts due to the reduction of large quantities of Iranian gas[/size]

    [size=45]Baghdad / Firas Adnan[/size]
    [size=45]The Ministry of Electricity stated that the Iranian side has reduced about 20 million cubic meters of gas supplies to Iraq, stressing that this cost the national system about 6 thousand megawatts, and attributed this to previous debts, indicating at the same time that the amounts of these debts were paid to the Trade Bank of Iraq, but US sanctions prevent transfer procedures from being completed, and she talked about diplomatic efforts to end this problem.[/size]
    [size=45]Ministry spokesman Ahmed Musa said, "Prime Minister Muhammad Shia'a al-Sudani knows the details of electricity and minute details, and this is the result of the daily follow-up to this file." Moussa added, "Al-Sudani gives this file a high priority, stressing that it is vital and important and supervises it on the ground in cooperation and coordination with the Minister of Electricity."[/size]
    [size=45]He pointed out, to "the opening of the expansion of the high-voltage transmission networks of the Jerusalem stations and the Al-Rasheed generating station, and this means adding self-power transformers in order to give stability, availability, and a high capacity in discharging the productive energies, and give the secondary stations an impetus in addressing bottlenecks and achieving great availability."[/size]
    [size=45]Musa confirmed, "This will increase the hours of electricity supply in the northern regions of Baghdad." And he continues, “The biggest challenge to the plan, which we started with early in the summer, is the gas and the decrease in its releases, which negatively affected the processing hours, after we had a clear and tangible improvement during the last period.”[/size]
    [size=45]Moussa continues, "The supply of the supplied gas has completely stopped from the southern region, which is 10 million cubic meters, and this led to the determination of the Rumaila gas stations, the investment Rumaila, eastern Basra, and Najaf gas stations, with the Khor Al-Zubair station stopping."[/size]
    [size=45]And he talked about “the decrease in gas supplies supplied to the central region and Baghdad from 25 million cubic meters to 15 million cubic meters.”[/size]
    [size=45]Moussa pointed out, "The total amount that has decreased is 20 million cubic meters, and this has cost us 5,000 megawatts." And he stated, “The presence of transmission lines with the Iranian side that pays its capacity of one thousand and 100 megawatts, and it has also stopped, and this brings us to the conclusion that the amount that the system lost from these measures is more than 6 thousand megawatts.”[/size]
    [size=45]Moussa continued, "The ministry had announced earlier that it was seeking to reach the production of 24,000 megawatts, but what has been achieved on the ground at the present time is 20,000 megawatts."[/size]
    [size=45]And he believes, "If the gas supplied was regular with the transmission lines with the Iranian side, the result would have been to reach more than 25,000 megawatts." Moussa pointed out, "If these quantities were achieved, we would have witnessed remarkable progress in processing hours," noting that "the reason for cutting gas supplies is the debts owed by the Iranians to Iraq." He explained, "These debts are not owed by the Ministry of Electricity, which it paid in full to the Credit Fund of the Iraqi Trade Bank, which finds it difficult to transfer money due to the sanctions imposed on the Iranian side."[/size]
    [size=45]Moussa stated, “The prime minister has begun to move the diplomatic effort in order to reach a solution in order not to interrupt the gas, and then the national systems will be affected.”[/size]
    [size=45]And he added, "This challenge is not new, but some of the solutions are not linked to the Iraqi government, because Iran is facing international sanctions, but what is new is the intensification of efforts to deliver money." On the other hand, Moussa went on to say that “the government is continuing to invest in national gas, in order to dispense with gas resources.”[/size]
    [size=45]He also said, “There are plans developed since the formation of the government to invest in gas, and this was evident in the fifth licensing round, which included the rehabilitation of gas fields through agreements concluded with international companies specialized in this field.” Moussa concluded, “These projects need time to be implemented, and as long as they are not completed, the ministry’s need continues for the supplied gas. There has been talk with the companies about time ceilings to accomplish their tasks, long-term maintenance programs, budgets, installation of combined cycles, installation of solar power stations, and the establishment of power plants.” Thermal works on various types of fuel.[/size]
    [size=45]However, a member of the Parliamentary Energy Committee, Walid Al-Sahlani, suggested that “the volume of electricity production during the summer is around 22,000 megawatts.”[/size]
    [size=45]Al-Sahlani stated, "The general policy related to electricity is still unclear," calling for "the adoption of other means to provide electricity, including solar energy. Iraq has contracted for these projects, providing about 5,000 megawatts."[/size]
    [size=45]He criticized, “previous governments for not providing appropriate solutions to the electricity issue, despite the passage of many years and the expenditure of large sums.”[/size]
    [size=45]Al-Sahlani added, "There are clear efforts that are currently being made in coordination between the government and parliament in order to develop sustainable solutions to the electricity file and include this in the budget."[/size]
    [size=45]For his part, Furat al-Moussawi, a specialist in energy affairs, said that "70% of the electrical stations in Iraq operate on dry gas."[/size]
    [size=45]Al-Moussawi added, "Iraq does not have a sufficient amount of gas to operate this type of station, despite the presence of very large fields that burn gas associated with oil."[/size]
    [size=45]He pointed out, "The gas stations enjoy some privileges related to preserving the environment, but the problem is that the one who contracted them was supposed to study the national capabilities to provide their own fuel." Mousawi said, "The solution came through importing Iranian gas to operate the electrical system," explaining that "what is imported occupies about 8,000 megawatts."[/size]
    [size=45]He stressed, "The current production has reached 23,000 megawatts, if we include the arrival of the full agreed quantities of Iranian gas."[/size]
    [size=45]And Al-Moussawi added, “The production does not fully reach the consumer, because we suffer from waste, which is represented by cuts, excesses, and random areas.”[/size]
    [size=45]He believes that “what Iraq needs is in the range of 34,000 megawatts to 40,000 megawatts,” and contingent on ending the electricity crisis by “reaching economic freedom in investing in national gas for the energy system.” Al-Moussawi added, "Iraq agreed earlier with the Iranian side to continue gas supplies for five years, but as soon as we entered the summer season, these supplies gradually declined until the quantities we lost reached 5,000 megawatts."[/size]
    [size=45]The file of electric power is one of the most prominent service problems that Iraqis have been suffering from since the change of the previous regime in 2003, despite spending very large sums of money on the sector for nearly two decades, while the country is witnessing long power outages during the summer.[/size]
    [size=45]Every summer, Iraqis are accustomed to declining supply hours, despite government promises, and this is what generates intense anger and leads to demonstrations demanding reform of the electricity situation.[/size]
