Iraqi News (20 August 2025)

Turkish energy firm Karpowership has agreed to supply Iraq with up to 590 megawatts of electricity under a short-term contract aimed at easing pressure on the country’s power grid, according to a statement reported by Reuters.

The 71-day deal with Iraq’s electricity ministry includes two floating power plants that will be stationed at Khor Al Zubair and Umm Qasr ports in Basra, and are expected to begin operations within weeks.

Iraq has long suffered from weak electricity supply and outdated infrastructure, leaving citizens vulnerable to frequent blackouts. With summer temperatures often soaring above 50°C, Baghdad has been working to boost capacity and prevent widespread outages.
