Al-Rawashdeh confirmed that Jordan is fully prepared for the electrical connection, with the remaining procedures related to the Iraqi side.

Last month, Iraqi authorities announced the completion of the electrical connection project with Jordan. An Iraqi source suggested that Jordan would begin supplying electricity to Iraq early this month. 

According to the agreement between the two countries, Iraq will initially receive one-third of the agreed-upon electrical capacity in the first phase. Al-Rawashdeh explained that the supply capacity will reach 50 megawatts to the western region, out of a total of 150 megawatts in this phase, which will later be supplied to other areas.

The project will grow to 500 megawatts in the second phase and 900 megawatts during the third phase.
