Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani confirmed on Sunday that his government intends to link Iraq's electricity with Kuwait and the Gulf Interconnection Authority at the end of 2024, and then move to link with Saudi Arabia to diversify energy sources when demand increases during peak times in the country.
Al-Sudani said in a speech during the opening of the Iraqi-Turkish electricity linkage project, "The value and importance of this project is that it had been suspended since 2004, and it had been planned since the nineties of the last century, and today it has been completed in coordination with the Turkish Ministry of Energy."
He added, "The value of this project is that for the first time we have an international connection with neighboring Turkey and then to the European Union, and this is an important and strategic factor for energy at the future level."
Al-Sudani added, "After we were able to connect with the Jordanian side, and today with Turkey, and hopefully at the end of this year with Kuwait and the Gulf Interconnection Authority, then we will head to complete our important project with Saudi Arabia so that Iraq can complete its communication with the regional energy system in a way that allows for diversity and exchange in various conditions of peak electrical loads."
