The Iraqi Ministry of Electricity announced today an agreement with the German company Siemens to develop a technical map to develop the electricity transmission sector in Iraq.
The ministry said that among the steps agreed upon with Siemens is the establishment of five stations in a number of governorates, including the capital, Baghdad.
She explained that these stations will provide a total capacity of up to 7,500 megawatts, as each station will have a capacity of 1,500 megawatts, stressing that work is underway to develop the transportation sector in Iraq to achieve higher reliability in the connection and disposal of the energy produced.
She pointed out that these stations will be part of the ministry’s plan for the next three years and will be transformer stations responsible for discharging the energy produced and feeding the electricity grid via transmission lines.
