Ahmed Mousa, spokesman for the Iraqi Ministry of Electricity, said that steps have been taken at production stations to overcome issues until gas flows resume, coordinating with the Ministry of Oil to supply power plants with locally available alternative fuel.
Mousa said that the Ministry of Electricity prepared for winter peak demand through ongoing maintenance, rehabilitation, and expansion at power plants, alongside continued coordination with the oil ministry to cover domestic needs until imported gas returns. He added that the government has sought to boost investment in gas capture to reduce flaring and ease import dependence.
