Iraq reviews summer power plans after U.S. ends Iran electricity waiver

Baghdad, Mar 10 (UNI) Iraqi Prime Minister Mohammed Shia' al-Sudani chaired a meeting on Sunday to assess plans for securing the electricity supply ahead of the summer, following Washington's decision to end Baghdad's waiver to purchase power from Iran.
Iraq's electricity ministry presented measures to maintain power supply, while the oil ministry outlined plans to provide the necessary fuel for power plants, al-Sudani's office said in a statement.
According to the statement, the meeting approved a 40-km gas pipeline extension from al-Mahmoudiya to Bismayah, which allows the Bismayah power plant to operate at full capacity during the summer.
