The electrical load index jumped to 14,250 megawatts on Monday, the highest since the beginning of this summer, as a result of the rise in temperature. According to reports, the temperature on Monday reached 43 degrees Celsius.

To strengthen the electrical and water network in the country, coordinated efforts are being made to launch the northern Khairan and Al-Zour power stations.

In addition to producing 1800 megawatts of electricity, the Khairan station will also produce 33 million gallons of desalinated water per day. The second and third phases of the Al-Zour plant will produce 2700 megawatts of energy, and 120 million gallons of desalinated water.
