Parts of Erbil, Sulaimanyah, and Duhok faced hours-long electricity outages on Saturday after heavy rain caused technical failures in the outdated government’s power network.
According to the Sulaimanyah Electricity Directorate, the rainfall led to short circuits across several distribution lines, resulting in widespread power cuts. Many neighborhoods are still without electricity.
This comes after the electricity ministry of the outgoing government admitted earlier that it would not be able to provide 24-hour power during winter and that citizens would need to rely on private generators.
