Iraq Orders Floating Power Plants to Ease Electricity Crisis

Iraq ordered two floating power plants from Turkey’s Karpowership to help alleviate a growing electricity crisis.

Karpowership unit BKPS signed a contract with Iraq’s Ministry of Electricity to supply as much as 590 megawatts of power from two vessels to be moored in the southern port of Basra, according to an emailed statement from the Turkish company.
