The Iraqi Ministry of Electricity says it is in talks with Iran to increase natural gas imports from its eastern neighbor.
According to Ahmed al-Ebadi, a ministry spokesman, the volume of gas imports from Iran is currently at 43 million cubic meters a day, while Iraq requires about 60 mcm of gas, Tasnim News Agency reported.
Iraq's electricity production has increased by 22% compared to the previous year, he added.
However, as new power plants are set to be launched in Iraq in the coming months and they rely on natural gas as feedstock, the Arab country needs to increase its gas purchases from Iran.
