By John Lee.

The Ministry of Electricity has announced a complete cessation in Iranian gas supplies to Iraq, resulting in the loss of approximately 3,100 megawatts of power generation capacity.

Ministry spokesman Ahmed Mousa told the state-run Iraqi News Agency (INA) that the disruption resulted from developments in the region and had an immediate impact on the national electricity system.

Efforts are ongoing to mitigate the impact through fuel substitution and operational adjustments.
