Iraq to start electricity imports from Kuwait: ministry
2018-02-22
Reconnecting to the region.
Baghdad (IraqiNews.com) Iraq will soon start importing electricity from Kuwait through power pylons, a front man of the Iraqi electricity ministry was quoted saying on Wednesday.

Musaab al-Madras was quoted saying in a press statement that "the ministry signed with the Kuwaiti side a memorandum of understanding for the import of electricity from Kuwait during a visit by a Kuwaiti delegation to Basra province".

He added that "during the next period, power pylons will extend along 50 kilometers to import more than 200 megawatts for the national grid".

He noted that Iraq continues to import electricity from Iran through four lines that deliver upto 1200 megawatts.

He also pointed that, despite the absence of power pylons between Iraq and Soddy Arabia
...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. When the oil runs out the rest of the world is going to kick sand in the Soddy national face...
, the ministry is still considering "ad hoc solutions to transfer power between both countries", adding that "electricity linkage with Saudi Arabia could be executed on the long run".
