Dispute Erupts Over Iran’s Gas Exports to Iraq

摘要

Iran has slashed its natural gas exports to neighboring Iraq as it faces problems collecting payments for gas that Iraq depends on for power generation. Iraq’s electricity ministry said on Wednesday that Iranian gas supplies to power plants in central and southern Iraq had fallen from 49 million cubic meters per day to just 8 MMcm/d, causing the loss of some 5.5 gigawatts of power capacity.
