ERBIL, Kurdistan Region – The KRG’s Ministry of Electricity is looking forward to presenting project proposals to donors at an international conference for rebuilding Iraq in Kuwait next month.
"The British Consulate General has officially asked us that if we have any strategic projects, they will help us find investors or international backing in the conference for our projects," Hogir Shali, a deputy from KRG's Ministry of Electricity, told Rudaw.
"We have many important projects suggested by the World Bank that we have been unable to finish due to the financial crisis," Shali explained.
He adds that these projects are essential for improving electricity services for the people.
An international conference of donors for Iraq will be held February 12-14, hosted by Kuwait together with the World Bank and the EU. Iraq’s Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi has estimated the cost of rebuilding the country after the war with ISIS will be $100 billion.
The KRG has received regular criticism from the people because of inconstant electricity supplies.
