POLITICIAN ACCUSES AMERICA OF OBSTRUCTING THE CONSTRUCTION OF POWER STATIONS IN IRAQ

Today, Saturday, the leader of the Sovereignty Alliance, Majeed Al-Dulaimi, accused America of being involved in obstructing projects to establish power plants in Iraq to end the electricity crisis for political reasons.

In a statement to / Al-Maalouma / agency, Al-Dulaimi said that “dozens of investment companies specialized in the energy sector have submitted investment offers to establish power plants in Anbar Governorate and other governorates.”

He added that “ the central government has received attractive offers from international investment companies specialized in establishing power plants in Iraq, but America is placing obstacles in the way of these countries under the pretext of terrorist threats,” indicating that “the steps to connect electricity with Jordan are still far from the level of ambition and are not useful.”

 He continued, “All solutions are to import electricity from neighboring countries or establish small power plants.”
