The Chairman of the National Investment Commission, Dr. Haider Mohammed Makkiya, chairs the meeting on providing new sources of electric power for investment projects The Chairman of the National Investment Commission, Dr. Haider Mohammed Makkiya, confirmed that the Commission continues to hold its meetings with the concerned authorities to find new sources of electricity to support investment projects in the areas surrounding Baghdad International Airport and its neighboring areas in order to solve the bottlenecks faced by the electrical system due to the increase in investment projects in the region. He added during his chairmanship of the meeting held at the headquarters of the Authority yesterday, Monday 28/10/2024, that this meeting comes as a continuation of the previous meetings in order to find suitable lands free of any conflicts to establish new electric power plants with different capacities within the geographical area of the (Dahnah and Kharnabat) areas, in order to enhance the stability of the energy infrastructure and stimulate the attraction of new investments, as the presence of stable electric power is one of the main factors for the success of any project. During the meeting, a map of the geographical location of the technically candidate lands for the establishment of these stations was presented along with the proposed and appropriate plans for the transportation and distribution of the electrical energy produced to feed the investment projects. During the meeting, it was agreed to form a specialized committee from the concerned authorities to study the candidate lands and stabilize their boundaries and dimensions and the conflicts that may face the processes of transferring electrical energy to the secondary stations and then to the investment projects. The meeting was attended by representatives of the Ministry of Electricity, Baghdad Municipality, the Director General of the State Real Estate Department and the Director General of the Single Window and Investor Services Department at the Authority.
