Iranian-made and gifted power plant in Iraq launched today

[New]

TEHRAN (ISNA)- A 500-MW power plant built in the Holy City of Najaf, southern Baghdad, by an Iranian company would be inaugurated on Thursday.

"The power plant is capable of generating 500 MW of electricity," said Iranian Deputy Minister of Economy for Planning and Economy Alireza Daemi.

The power plant is a gift to Iraqi nation and has been built for them, he said, as referring to severe shortage of power in Iraq.

Iran is currently swapping electricity with Armenia, Pakistan, Turkmenistan, Turkey, Azerbaijan, Iraq and Afghanistan.

In October 2013, Iranian Energy Minister Hamid Chitchian expressed pleasure in the growing volume of Iran's power exports to the neighboring states, and said Iraq, a main consumer of Iranian electricity, has called on Tehran to boost power supplies to the country.

“We are moving on a growing trend in exporting electricity to the neighboring countries, including Iraq, Turkey, Armenia, Pakistan and Afghanistan,” Chitchian said at the time

I thought these companies are government owned. Or are they traded on stock exchange?

It's one of the reasons it's developing a Nuclear infrastructure all over the country.

Why burn oil for electricity when you can see it?
