Baghdad, Iraq. Iranian gas supplies to Iraq have resumed at a rate of 7 million cubic feet per day, the spokesperson for the Iraqi electricity ministry said on Wednesday.


Supply resumption and earlier halt

Iraq reported a halt in Iranian gas supplies in December, citing the shutdown of some generating units and load shedding at others.

Reliance on Iranian energy

Tehran supplies between a third and 40% of Iraq’s gas and power needs.

Planned talks in Tehran

The Iraqi ministry plans to visit Tehran to discuss the required quantities of gas for the summer.
