A local official has stated that the two plants will have a combined generation capacity of 600 megawatts, which will leave the province with a surplus of power.

Amer Nasrallah, Missan Provincial Council’s energy committee chairman, told the Aswat al-Iraq news agency: “One station will be set up in al-Batira, 5km north of al-Amara, and the other will be sited near the al-Kahlaa transformer station, southeast of Amara.”
