The director general of Jordan’s National Electric Power Company (NEPCO), Amjad Al-Rawashdeh, said on Thursday that the Jordanian-Iraqi electrical interconnection line will go into operation on Saturday.

Al-Rawashdeh illustrated that that the line, which will supply electricity to the Al-Rutba area close to the Jordanian border, will link the Risha power plant in Jordan and the Al-Rutba power station in Iraq at a voltage of 132 kilovolts, according to the Jordan News Agency (Petra).
