The spokesman for the Ministry of Electricity, Ahmed Moussa, confirmed that the size of the deficit between the achieved production and the required load of the system is about 19 thousand megawatts, and this gap is what affects the hours of supply and their variation from one governorate to another, noting that the electrical interconnection project with Jordan has entered into operation in the Rutba district with 54 megawatts.
Moussa said, "The system load has reached good rates compared to previous years, as it records 27,445 megawatts, a number that the system has not reached before." He
added that this is "regardless of the fact that it has not kept pace with the demand and supply, which varies from one governorate to another and from one region to another, depending on a set of factors such as increased demand, the efficiency of the distribution network, the size of constructions, violations and splits, all of which affect the hours of electricity supply, and accordingly, the supply varies from one governorate to another." The
required load reaches 48 thousand megawatts, which means that there is a gap and shortage between the achieved production, which is 27,445 megawatts, and the required load, and this also affects the hours of electricity supply and their variation, according to him.
The size of the shortage, as indicated by Ahmed Musa, "reaches nearly 19,000 megawatts, which prevents Iraq from operating 24 hours a day, but the ministry seeks through its strategic plans to produce projects to address this shortage, whether in thermal stations, combined cycle stations, or solar power stations, and steps to connect electricity with neighboring countries in order to diversify energy sources." The
spokesman for the Ministry of Electricity spoke about the types of stations in Iraq, saying that "part of them are thermal stations that operate on available fuel (kerosene and crude oil), and we have part of steam stations that depend on water releases in their operation, which our steam stations suffer from today from a shortage of water releases, which has a negative impact, as well as gas stations that operate on gas, part of which is national gas and part of which is gas imported from Iran."
He added that "of course, there are supplies through energy transmission lines, and we have 4 lines with Iran and we have lines with the Kurdistan Region that supply the system with a number of megawatts that help maintain the system's operation."
In the context, he noted that "80% of our stations today are gas stations, part of which operates on gas and the other on alternative fuel, meaning that this percentage is partly operated on national gas, and another part of about 8,000 megawatts operates on Iranian gas."
As for solar power stations, he said, "they have not yet entered into operation. The contracts were signed and referred to international companies, and they have begun to implement solar power stations, but they need two and a half years to enter into operation."
He continued, saying, "We have 4 transmission lines connected to Iran. These Iranian lines that reach Iraq do not exceed a maximum ceiling for supplying energy of 1,200 megawatts, and this rate decreases and increases over time compared to the system's need first and also Iran's need based on the amounts of energy paid by the Iranian lines. We also have electrical connection projects currently established for it. The Iraqi-Jordanian electrical connection has entered its first phase, and the Iraqi-Turkish connection entered into operation yesterday. We also have a connection with Saudi Arabia that is being implemented, and we have a connection with the Gulf Interconnection Authority through Kuwait. By the end of this year, the first phase will be completed with 500 megawatts."
Regarding the rates of gas pumping from the Iranian side, Ahmed Moussa pointed out that "there is a contract signed by the Ministry of Electricity with Iran for a period of 5 years, according to which Iran will provide Iraq with approximately 50 million cubic meters of gas per day to operate the production stations, and what the system needs of gas until the rehabilitation of the national gas fields that the government is working on is completed and it has proceeded to invest in the national gas fields, but the plan to exploit the national gas needs 3 years and another part needs 5 years."
Regarding the rates of prices for supplying Iranian gas to Iraq, he said that "it was agreed that it would be proportional and parallel to the price of the OPEC basket, meaning that importing the price of a megawatt from Iran is close to the prices of purchasing energy from investors inside Iraq, it is close to purchasing energy through the connection lines, and it may be cheaper than the global price of energy."
The spokesman for the Iraqi Ministry of Electricity confirmed that the Ministry of Electricity has taken an important step to diversify energy sources by moving towards electrical interconnection projects first and secondly reducing dependence on gas and fossil fuels, noting at the same time that "the electrical interconnection project with Jordan, the contract was signed by the Ministry of Electricity with the Jordanian Ministry of Energy and not with a private company and entered into operation in the Rutba district in Anbar, which for 11 years has not been familiar with electricity, and there is no national electricity in it as a result of the infrastructure destroyed by ISIS."
He explained that "the national electrical interconnection brought national electricity to the Rutba district, this is the first phase, and work is underway to complete the second phase, and there will also be a third phase between Iraq and Jordan to establish this interconnection."
According to him, "54 megawatts reach Rutba from Jordan as a first phase, and work is being done rapidly so that the interconnection will become about 250 megawatts in its second phase."
Referring to the Iraqi-Turkish electricity interconnection project, the spokesman for the Iraqi Ministry of Electricity said: "The Ministry of Electricity had worked on the following: First, establishing the Kask 400 station in Nineveh Governorate. This super-high-voltage station has been fully completed. It also established power transmission lines to reach the areas of Tal Afar and Tal Awinat, which are almost peripheral areas in Nineveh Governorate. The station was completed and the connection lines were completed, according to which the Kask station inside Nineveh Governorate is connected to the Jazra station inside Mosul."
In the context, he noted the great cooperation from the Kurdistan Regional Government and the Ministry of Electricity through "supplying part of the power transmission towers across the lands adjacent to Dohuk Governorate, and a number of towers were established adjacent to the borders of the region and also adjacent to Dohuk Governorate. According to this connection, 300 megawatts of energy is transferred as a first stage to enter the Iraqi system and benefit the governorates of Nineveh, Kirkuk and Salah al-Din."
Regarding the prices between the Iraqi-Jordanian, Iraqi-Turkish and Iranian interconnections, he said, “They are almost close, but there is an advantage in that the possibility of interconnection through Turkey differs because the interconnection with Turkey allows Iraq to be connected to the European Union’s transmission networks, which allows it to be a transit country for energy from exporting countries to supplying countries. Secondly, the agreement is based on the exchange of energy benefits. Iraq, during peak times or summer loads, needs, according to what was agreed upon, 300 megawatts, but during off-peak times, the energy is returned to Turkey, and this is what was agreed upon.”
The spokesman for the Iraqi Ministry of Electricity explained that "we have lines with the Kurdistan Region that reach about 900 megawatts, and the Ministry of Electricity has contracts with investors who have stations in the Kurdistan Region, and two lines have been prepared according to which parts of Diyala Governorate are connected to lines from the Kurdistan Region, meaning that we have cooperation and energy supplies that arrive from the Kurdistan Region, and according to decisions from the Council of Ministers, the Ministry of Electricity has been authorized to provide part of the kerosene oil for the benefit of generating units that were stopped in stations in the Kurdistan Region to operate and supply energy to help the center."
