Good News from Iraq: 2 May 2007

From MNF-I, helping restore electricity in Fallujah.

FALLUJAH - Fallujah is rebuilding its electrical distribution network, and so far more than 45,000 utility poles, 2,200 transformers and 2,400 kilometers of cable have been purchased.

Fallujah city officials and Ministry of Electricity personnel are working with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) on the $57 million project.


This reminded me of a picture I saw at Acute Politics a long time back (it's the one entitled An Iraqi Power Pole, in case you couldn't find it.) It looks like they need all the help they can get with the electrical situation there.
