Erbil-Hewler, Kurdistan region "Iraq", —
Kurdistan’s Electricity ministry advisor on Thursday
said provinces of Erbil and Sulaimaniyah would be
supplied with 22 hours power.
“The National grid would supply provinces of Erbil
and Sulaimaniyah with 15 hours by the operation of
Erbil gas plant,” Dilshad Mohamed,www.ekurd.net
advisor for Kurdistan’s
Electricity Ministry told VOI. The advisor noted
“private generators would provide seven hours so
that the total would 22 in aggregate starting from
Friday”.
The power grid across Iraqi cities were bombed,
looted and sabotaged during and after the US-led
liberation in 2003.
For five years,www.ekurd.net
Iraq’s state power group
has provided an intermittent service of between four
and eight hours of electricity a day, depending on
the area and the season.
Many residents of Iraqi cities have increasingly
relied on privately run generators to power their
homes.
The electricity shortfall meant many residents had
to buy their own generators in 2004, and by 2006 the
people of some neighbourhoods had banded together
and subscribed to large collective generators bought
by entrepreneurs.
