Germany’s Siemens is eyeing up electricity investments in Basra.

“A delegation from Siemens met today (Sept. 2) with officials of the provincial council’s electricity committee to discuss ways to carry out projects in the power sector in Basra,” Ziyad Ali told Aswat al-Iraq news agency.

“The delegation expressed readiness to carry out power projects in the fields of construction of 11/33 kilovolt stations,” he said.

Also, a consortium of Turkish companies has proposed building a power station in Basra and a refinery to feed the plant with fuel, Ali added.
