Turkey’s Energy Market Regulatory Authority (EMRA) said Monday that Ankara has begun electricity exports to Iraq through the Silopi-Zakho transmission line.
Aksa Aksen Enerji Ticareti received regulatory approval to export electricity to Iraq last month. Based on the approval, exports of 150 megawatts (MW) to Iraq began on Monday and will continue until Nov. 1, 2021.
“Turkey, once an electricity importing country, is now exporting power to its neighbors,” according to EMRA head Mustafa Yılmaz.
“Turkey’s electricity system has enough capacity to export power to neighboring countries. Our cross-border electricity trade continues to grow and I think this volume will increase further in 2021,” he added.
