/ The Director General of the Jordanian National Electricity Company, Amjad Al-Rawashdeh, said on Thursday that the Jordanian-Iraqi electrical interconnection line will enter service next Saturday.
The Jordanian News Agency (Petra) quoted Al-Rawashdeh as saying: The line will be shared between the Jordanian Al-Risha electrical stations and the Iraqi Al-Rutba station, at a voltage of 132 kilovolts, to feed the loads of the Al-Rutba area near the border with Jordan.
On February 11, 2024, in the capital, Amman, Iraq and Jordan signed a document to supply the Iraqi side with electrical energy with a capacity of 40 megawatts in the first phase, as both parties considered the contract as part of a more comprehensive Arab plan for the joint Arab energy market in the future.
The Iraqi Ministry of Electricity announced the completion of operation of the Iraqi-Jordanian electric line, confirming that the date for the line to enter service will be next Saturday, the 30th of this month.
She added that the line will be shared between the Jordanian Al-Risha Electrical Station and the Iraqi Al-Rutba Station, with a voltage of 132 kilovolts to feed the loads of the Al-Rutba area near the border with Jordan.
