Ask Yourself....Say to have a Company with some state of the art produce and the manpower to implement it in some far away land....Would You (or for that matter) anyone send their people there to work for Free.

 

.... in the past probably still done but the foreign workers that have come to iraq to work whatever / however their wage is paid in , they go to banks and remittances are done ( money sent back home ) converted in the currency of the country of origin it is sent to , the company they work for usually has it all set up kinda like a direct deposit back home , imo as iqd speculators we need a internationally traded bankable iqd and im done with all this faster than it took me to type it ....

 Baghdad: Omar Abdul Latif

 

The Committee on Oil, Energy and Natural Resources in the House of Representatives slowly approved measures for electrical interconnection with the Gulf and Europe, while expecting an improvement in energy supply next summer.

A member of the committee, Sadiq Al-Sulaiti, told Al-Sabah: that Iraq suffers from a lack of energy in the country by more than 12 thousand megawatts, stressing that Iraq will not be able to fill this shortage with domestic production during the next five years, due to the lack of the necessary allocations that enable the establishment of electrical stations. .

Al-Sulaiti stressed the importance of the electrical connection with the Gulf and Turkey, so that Iraq would be a hub for communication between the Gulf states and Europe, expressing his regret that these two projects were going in slow steps, and the government was supposed to accelerate the connection of these two systems because of the benefit for Iraq.

He added that the difference in peak times between Iraq and the northern regions represented by Turkey and Europe, enables us to become a corridor for the export of energy from hot regions in summer towards Turkey with a moderate atmosphere and transfer it to other countries, indicating that Iraq consumes 13 thousand megawatts of investment stations in the winter season When the available is about 19 thousand megawatts, which forces him to extinguish about 5 thousand megawatts and out of work in this season.

Al-Sulaiti added that the committee stressed the need to legislate the oil and gas law during the next few phase, but it needs to complete the vote on the National Oil Company’s law, indicating that the oil law has been completed and has reached the voting stage, but that work will not be completed after voting until the company’s law is approved. , Because there are paragraphs related to each other in the two laws.

Good Morning yota, 

Can’t help but laugh at these silly fools trying to convince the average poor Iraqi that more money and committees will solve their electrical issues. 
These corrupt madmen have stolen enough money from the resources to build an electrical grid from Iraq to the USA....

"The ministry is keen and serious about the issue of diversifying energy sources and approving electrical interconnection projects with neighboring countries, as it has signed framework agreements with the Gulf Interconnection Authority and the Kingdom of Jordan in this regard," ministry spokesman Ahmed Al-Abadi told Al-Sabah.

He added that “Iraq has fulfilled 81 percent of its obligations towards the project with the Gulf Linking Authority, which has resumed holding coordination meetings to resume work, as it was agreed that the value of the project and the transport lines, whether inside Iraqi or Kuwaiti territories, would be covered by Gulf trust funds, to be paid by the Ministry. Electricity is in the form of installments, as it will be a fixed asset for the Iraqi state.

Al-Abadi stated, "The two sides have agreed to establish a line to connect the Al-Zour station inside Kuwaiti territory and Fao inside Iraqi lands, and this does not mean linking with the State of Kuwait because the connection with the Gulf Linkage Authority, but the line is 300 km long, of which 220 km is inside Kuwaiti territory and 80 km inside Iraqi lands." , And it is expected that work on the project will start within a month from now, and the Gulf side is in the process of surveying the lines' paths and studying the appropriate connection points to complete the project.

Hidden movement .. Iran is hovering to strike the electricity project between Iraq and the Gulf

An electrical network in Nasiriyah

Political sources in the Iraqi capital, Baghdad, reported that a hidden movement is being carried out by Iranian officials and others at the Tehran embassy to stop or obstruct the electrical connection project between Iraq and the Gulf states.

This comes after the project has reached advanced stages, as the Ministry of Electricity announced , on Friday, that Iraq has completed about 81 percent of the requirements and belongings of this connection, with discussions and negotiations with the Gulf Connectivity Authority to establish a 300 km long line, which will be 220 km inside Kuwaiti territory and 80 km Inside Iraqi territory.

A political source, who refused to reveal his identity, told "Sky News Arabia" that "Iranian officials who were accompanying Foreign Minister Muhammad Javad Zarif tried to influence the course of the electricity linkage project by winning over energy sector officials in Iraq and granting them new contracts, at reduced prices, in exchange for Halting the project, or slowing its pace, which prompted Minister of Electricity Majid Hantoush to visit Iran, days after Zarif's visit, to confirm that the project will proceed according to the line drawn for him.

Iranian radar on the projects

The source added, "A lobby has recently formed inside the Iranian embassy in Baghdad, aiming to influence the projects in which Tehran sees a departure from its hegemony, which are hundreds of projects, and their number increased after the arrival of the current prime minister, Mustafa Al-Kazemi.

Iraq has an agreement with Iran to import 1,200 megawatts of electric power through 4 lines. They are the (Khorramshahr - Basra) line, (Karkha - Amara), (Kermanshah - Diyala), and (Sarbil Zahab - Khanaqin).

And last year, the agreement between the two countries was renewed for a period of two years for the first time, as it was previously signed for one year, which was considered by Iraqi circles as an attempt by Tehran to influence the electrical interconnection project with the Gulf countries, and prepare for it early.

The gas imported from Iran also contributes to operating Iraqi electrical stations supplying the system with approximately 3,300 megawatts.

A major production plant

In the same context, the Iranian ambassador in Baghdad, Iraj Masjedi, announced, on Sunday, that his country "will now start establishing two electricity-generating stations in Iraq."

He added that "one of these two projects will turn into a major power plant in this country."

This announcement represented a surprise to the concerned circles and the officials of the energy file in Iraq, as the signs of Tehran’s entry to establish power stations inside Iraq had not been announced previously, especially since Iranian companies are not qualified to undertake such projects.

The oil expert, Hamzah Al-Jawahiri, said: “This announcement of the presence of stations to be built soon came as a surprise, due to the lack of clarity of the agreement, and the reason for this trend at the present time, as Iran is preventing the gas that the Iraqis buy with their money from the local stations, which confirms the existence of another intention for this. Advertising".

Al-Jawahiri added to "Sky News Arabia" that "the electrical interconnection project between Iraq and the Gulf states, like a blow to Iran, in the energy and fuel file, which prompted it to this announcement, after the project reached 80 percent."

Al-Jawahiri pointed out, "Iranian companies do not have the ability to establish such large plants, due to their need for heavy equipment, such as turbines and others, as well as not having the technology to do so."

Iraqi Electricity shies from clarification

In the first comment on the Iranian ambassador’s statement, the Iraqi Ministry of Electricity said that it would clarify the nature of this statement later.

"The ministry has not issued any details regarding the Iranian ambassador’s statement, and I think that we will clarify that later with an official statement," the ministry’s spokesman, Ahmed Moussa, said in a press statement.

And the electricity crisis in Iraq is ongoing and complex, and several factors overlap, as successive governments, after Saddam Hussein's regime , have failed to find solutions to their interruption for long hours every day, and it is estimated that Iraqi governments have spent more than $ 80 billion since 2003 on the electricity sector without any tangible solutions. . 

For his part, Jassim Al-Bakhati, a deputy in the Iraqi parliament, sees the importance of moving forward with the electrical interconnection project with the Gulf countries, after reaching advanced stages, without paying attention to other influences. And to diversify the options before the government, so that it can choose what suits our country. "

Next week, Al-Zubaydiyah power station will operate after its maintenance

Monday 17th May 2021 168

 

 Al-Kut: Hassan Shahid Al-Azzawi Al-Samawa: Ahmed Al-Fartousi Kirkuk: Nahdet Ali

 

Coinciding with the steady rise in temperatures, the coming days will witness the completion of the maintenance of all the generating units of the Al-Zubaidi Thermal Power Station and bring them into service at full design capacity of 2540 megawatts, which is one of the largest stations in the country.

Nevertheless, a struggle looms between the governorates and the Ministry of Electricity to obtain their prescribed energy quota in light of poor processing hours.

The problem of supplying electric power in the country is renewed annually, which leads to its poor quality and to a marked increase in ampere prices supplied by generators, ranging between 20-25 thousand dinars.

Wasit Governor Muhammad Jamil Al-Mayahi told Al-Sabah: “The technical and engineering staff of the Ministry of Electricity have reached 80 percent of the campaign for the maintenance of the generating units in the Zubaidiya electrical thermal station. National Grid ”. The Ministry of Electricity took over work at the Wasit Thermal Power Station entirely from the Chinese company implementing the project in 2018, and was able to connect all the generating units and bring them into service, and the station is one of the largest stations in the country and its production capacity reaches 2540 MW within six obstetric units.

Al-Mayahi stated that "the station is currently working with local fuel extracted from the Ahdab oil field and not with imported fuel, after the completion of the pipelines for transporting fuel to operate them with two lines, the first was allocated to transport liquid fuel and the second to transport gaseous fuel."

He added, "In the event that the station’s maintenance is completed, it will produce 2540 megawatts, which will contribute to giving the governorate its full share of electrical energy and achieving self-sufficiency not only for homes, but also for factories and agricultural projects."

In Al-Muthanna, Governor Ahmed Manafi told Al-Sabah: “The governorate desperately needs to allocate the GE generation station to Muthanna only and not to connect it to the national network, in addition to the substation 400”.

He pointed out that "the National Control Center deals with duplicity and arbitrariness with Al-Muthanna, as he said, when it allocated those stations to three governorates, where the processing rate reaches more than 20 hours per day, unlike Muthanna, which suffers from a lack of energy supply, especially in the liquefaction stations and hospitals."

In the same file, the Governor of Kirkuk, Rakan Saeed, and a number of the governorate's representatives in parliament, called on the prime minister and the ministries of electricity and oil to intervene to do justice to the province by re-equipping it with energy according to the prescribed percentage to reduce cutting hours and increase its share of fuel allocated to generators.

Said said in a press conference attended by "Al-Sabah": "Kirkuk only reaches 3 percent of its prescribed share of electricity, which led to an increase in cutting hours until it reached 16 hours in some areas."

The governor stressed the necessity of equipping Kirkuk with its full share of national electricity, as well as increasing the amount of fuel supplied for generators whose owners resorted to buying it from the black market, thus raising the ampere price, which burdens the citizen.

For his part, the Governor and Representatives of Najaf have filed lawsuits against the Minister of Electricity for what they called deliberate prejudice against the governorate’s share of electric power.

The governor of Najaf, Louay Al-Yasiri, said in a press conference: "A lawsuit has been filed against the Minister of Electricity, in addition to his job, for deliberate prejudice against the share of Najaf."

He pointed out that "the supply of electricity in Najaf arrives every day only 8 hours, while some provinces reach 24 hours in front of the ministry's eyes and ears."
