Work is estimated to be completed in about one year at an estimated cost of $29 million and will be performed by Iraqi subcontractors.
BAGHDAD, Iraq, Sept. 30, 2005 — A substation expansion project in Mosul will increase the existing capacity of the 400 kV Mosul substation to allow for an additional 400 kV transmission line between Mosul and Baghdad. The Mosul substation expansion is a critical, electric grid system element to increase the amount of available power to the entire country. The expansion provides the capacity to distribute power more reliably, thereby affecting six million people. The project serves a dual purpose. It will efficiently distribute an estimated 2,000 MW of power from the northern to the central regions and it will allow connection and transmission of power from Turkey. This project has the potential for increased transmission capacity of 2,000 MW and the addition of an average of two hours of power nationwide.
Work is estimated to be completed in about one year at an estimated cost of $29 million and will be performed by Iraqi subcontractors. The expanded substation will be operated and maintained by the Iraqi Ministry of Electricity. Included in the work will be operations and maintenance training and one year of spare parts.
The project is part of an ongoing effort by the Minister of Electricity, Dr. Mohsen Shlash, to continue to improve Iraqi's electrical power infrastructure.
More news you won't hear from the LSM
"More news you won't hear from the LSM."
I am certain those reporters moving about the airconditioned hotels don't even get this kind of news. All the know how to do as they sip on their cognac, whatever is to raise their heads when they hear a bomb going off perhaps once a week, then hop on their laptop. Their living rather boring lives.
And I'm sure that Al-Za-Cow-Ie and his First-Lieutenant-Of-The-Week are already planning a way to disable/destroy it.
