(MENAFN) Iraq announced the launch of a 400/132/11 kilovolt (kV) gas insulated substation which was established by U.S-based GE Power.
The new gas substation was confirmed to have been constructed with a capacity to link as much as 1GW of power to the national grid.
Under the Baghdad West North substation, bottlenecks are likely to reduce while the hours of accessible power are expected to surge.
"The Iraqi Ministry of Electricity is seeking to provide reliable, uninterrupted power across the country," stated Iraq's Minister of Electricity Luay Al-Khatteeb.
"The opening of the Baghdad West North substation reflects our efforts to achieve this goal. The substation will play a critical role in helping to deliver much-needed power, especially in the upcoming summer months," Al-Khatteeb added.
