From MNF-I, Electrical sub-station powers up in Basra.
BASRA – A new electrical substation that will provide additional power to the citizens of Basra is scheduled to go online next month.
Iraqi electrical workers are installing new lines, inspecting transformers and making final checks throughout the substation in preparation to bring it online in early July.
The Government of Iraq is making efforts to bring basic services to Iraqis living in Basra as quickly as possible.
“This sub-station will bring several more hours of normal, regulated electricity to this part of the city, “ said Lt. Col. Pau Hettich of the Civil Military Operations Center. “Iraqi engineers are doing a week of final testing to make sure everything is ready to go when they flip the switch.”
