Jordan-Iraq oil and electricity halted
Since the beginning of 2026, oil and electricity supplies between Jordan and Iraq have ceased, with Iraqi oil exports to Jordan being interrupted and electricity supply to the Ruttaba district halted. This disruption is delaying the electricity interconnection project, which aims to increase capacity from 40 MW to 500 MW. These measures are part of the two countries' efforts to address pending issues in preparation for resuming cooperation in the energy sector. However, the stoppage of flows does not necessarily mean that cooperation has completely stalled, as discussions regarding contracts and technical matters are still ongoing.
