I. Provide Electricity Services that Meet National
Needs
Goals: Improve generating capacity to 6000MW by
July 1, 2004; Fully implement policy on allocation of electrical power;
Publish draft of long term strategy; Minimize Sabotage and Improve Security
Saddam’s Legacy
A reliable supply of electricity is essential to every functioning modern
economy. The Saddam regime neglected all components of the electrical system
-- the generation, transmission, and distribution sub-sectors. Post-war
looting and sabotage have severely degraded the electrical infrastructure,
including the destruction of transmission lines, towers, and many
substations. Decades of operation without regular maintenance and fuel
shortages, however, have also severely hampered dependable production. As a
result, the country now produces less than 4,000 megawatts daily, with
blackouts, unplanned outages and other failures occurring on a frequent
basis. The system is also inadequate to meet Iraq’s growing demands and
lacks acceptable measures of reliability.
Coalition Partner Activities to Improve Electricity Sector
CPA partners will provide reliable, stable and predictable power to the
people and enterprises of Iraq by:
-
Reconstructing and rehabilitating generation, transmission and distribution
networks as well as system control and communications
-
Establishing and implementing a sound regulatory framework for the
electricity sector
- Ensuring improved infrastructural security and resilience
