The Mosul substation expansion is a critical, electric grid system element to increase the amount of available power throughout Iraq; the expansion provides the capacity to distribute power more reliably, thereby affecting six million people, according to the US Army Corps of Engineers.
The project serves a dual purpose: to distribute an estimated 2,000 MW of power from the northern to the central regions and to allow connection and transmission of power from Turkey. This project has the potential for increased transmission capacity of 2,000 MW and the addition of an average of two hours of power nationwide.
