Iran halted late on Tuesday gas exports to neighboring Iraq for several days, in order to repair pipeline damages caused by an earthquake near the Iraqi border on Sunday night, Reuters reported on Wednesday, citing a statement from Iraq’s electricity ministry.
Major Iraqi power plants are dependent on Iranian natural gas supply.
On Sunday night, a 6.3-magnitude earthquake in Iran’s western Kermanshah province near the border with Iraq wounded more than 700 people.
Now Iran is trying to repair the damages to the gas pipeline to Iraq, and the halt of exports for a few days would cut supply to Iraq’s power grid by 2,500 MW, according to the Iraqi electricity ministry. Iraq’s oil ministry will supply the stations dependent on Iranian gas with fuel to keep them working during the Iranian supply halt, but there could be power cuts in provinces of the power plants affected, Reuters quoted Iraq’s electricity ministry as saying.
