Description | The GCC-Iraq interconnection project involves constructing 400-kilovolt double-circuit overhead lines from Kuwait's Al-Wafrah Substation to Iraq's Al-Faw Substation, including upgrades to the Al-Faw Substation with advanced circuit breakers, electrical reactors, and state-of-the-art control systems. The project aims to supply up to 600 MW of electricity in southern Iraq, using isolated local load areas due to frequency and supply issues in the Iraqi grid. It is funded by the Kuwait Fund for Arab Economic Development and the Qatar Fund for Development. |
