Iraq
October 2003
Several US armored vehicles help guard the Baghdad South power plant. USAID is funding the repair of Iraq's nationwide electrical system. Baghdad South, like many other power facilities, is in great disrepair. Iraqi plant managers were forced to keep them online at any cost, often foregoing maintenance and safety procedures.
Several units of the Baghdad South power plant are offline for seasonal maintenance. USAID is funding the repair of Iraq's nationwide electrical system, which consist of some 29 major generating plants, transmission grids and local substations.
