Halabja to Receive 24-Hour Electricity by August as Part of Expanding Kurdistan Power Project
“By late August, the Runaky Project will reach Halabja, benefiting approximately 42,000 households, and the province will soon enjoy uninterrupted 24-hour electricity,” the team said in a statement.
ERBIL (Kurdistan24) — The Halabja province in the Kurdistan Region will soon benefit from 24-hour electricity service under the expanding Runaky (Light) Project, officials announced Thursday.
According to the project’s technical team, the province is expected to be fully integrated into the round-the-clock electricity supply by the end of August. “By late August, the Runaky Project will reach Halabja, benefiting approximately 42,000 households, and the province will soon enjoy uninterrupted 24-hour electricity,” the team said in a statement.
On Wednesday, July 9, the Kurdistan Regional Government’s Ministry of Electricity expressed satisfaction with the growing reach of the Runaky Project. In an official statement, the ministry said the 24-hour power supply now reaches over two million citizens, covering nearly 30% of the Kurdistan Region’s population.
The statement noted that a growing number of residents in major cities—Erbil, Duhok, and Sulaimani—are already receiving continuous electricity. The expanded coverage includes both the 150-meter zone in Erbil and the 60-meter zone in Sulaimani, marking a significant leap in electricity infrastructure.
Officials hailed the project as a major milestone toward providing sustainable, cleaner, and more affordable energy for the region. The transition is also viewed as a key step in promoting a greener environment across Kurdistan.
According to figures released by the KRG, more than 2 million citizens and 544,000 households are now benefiting from 24-hour electricity as part of the initiative, which is gradually reshaping the energy landscape of the Kurdistan Region.
