The lines have come down due to sabotage and bad weather. Downed transmission lines increase the probability for complete nationwide blackout by reducing system contingency and causing mechanical damage at power plants. This may cause further temporary blackouts, which have already directly resulted in 1) impacted refineries causing reduced fuel flow to power plants and a subsequent reduction in power supply, and 2) damages in the power plants due to undercurrent causing units to come off-line for unscheduled maintenance. Transmission Lines out of service: 400KV Haditha-Baghdad West –ECD slipped from Jan 24 to Feb 29 Haditha-Qarna – Wasit – ECD slipped from Jan 12 to Jan 24 Baghdad South – Qadisseya – ECD Jan 20 Baiji - Baghdad West #1 – ECD Jan 20 New line - Baghdad East-Baghdad South #2 – ECD Jan 23 Babil-Qadisiyah (collapsed towers/stolen conductors ECD 20 JAN) Haditha – Qaim – no funding Baiji – Haditha – no funding/no contractor 132KV Mosul – Mosul East is sabotaged Musalla – Rumala 132 Kv line still being sabotaged – 4 more towers down – now total of 7.
