Iraq, Baghdad: Nearly 88% of a project to connect Iraq’s grid to the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) grid has been completed, Electricity Ministry Ahmed Mousa said on Sunday. He added that a contract for the connection with Kuwait has been awarded to three companies.
According to him, Iraq will also start receiving 40 MW from Jordan soon, in the first phase of the interconnection project between the two countries. An interconnection with Turkey has also been completed but a rift over prices has blocked an agreement.
