Iraq

KRG to supply Baghdad with 450 MW of electricity for 3 years

2020-09-04

Moving to a new, more federalized normal.
[Rudaw] The Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) sent 450 megawatts of electricity to Baghdad and other central provinces in August, the first month of a three-year deal between Baghdad and Erbil.

Erbil and Baghdad signed an agreement in July that will see the KRG provide Iraq with electricity for the next three years. The electricity will be sent to southern and central provinces, according to Ahmed Musa, Iraqi electricity ministry spokesperson, who told Rudaw on Wednesday, "450 megawatts of electricity will be transferred to the central provinces and Baghdad through Khurmala and Kirkuk."

"In return, the Iraqi government will provide black oil [fuel] to the power grids in Kurdistan Region that are providing the electricity," Musa said.

Iraq has long suffered from chronic power outages in a country where summer temperatures reach 50 degrees Celsius. Rampant electricity shortages are a rallying call for protestors, with summer demonstrations erupting annually in Iraq’s southern provinces demanding electricity to survive the heat. The deal with the Kurdistan Region will supplement other agreements with Iran
Iran

...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979. The nation is today noted for spontaneously taking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militias to extend the regime's influence. The word Iran is a cognate form of Aryan. The abbreviation IRGC is the same idea as Stürmabteilung (or SA). The term Supreme Guide is a the modern version form of either Duce or Führer or maybe both. They hate ~~Jews~~ ~~Zionists~~ Jews. Their economy is based on the production of oil and vitriol...
and Gulf states.
