伊拉克电力部长表示，他已要求议会提高2014年伊拉克电力项目预算至110亿美元，这一数字是今年的一倍多。
Abdul Karim Al Aftan指出，现在批给该部门的预算为50亿美元，远远低于实际电力项目需要的资金，更无法满足2014年的实际需求。
Al Sabah报纸援引部长办公室的一份报告称，Aftan部长已向议会申请2014年提高给电力部的预算，从目前的50亿美元提高至110亿美元。
Aftan部长告诉议会，目前的预算都不能满足电力部一半的资金需求来新建电力项目，以满足该国快速增长的电力需求。尤其是部分居住区非常需要新建发电站和供应站。
Aftan部长同时补充道，新增的拨款还将用来支付过去几年间在伊完成项目的承包商。

Efforts to double electricity allocations to $11 billion in Iraq
Iraq's electricity minister has asked the parliament to more than double his ministry's budgetary allocations to $11 billion in 2014 to fund power projects.
Abdul Karim Al Aftan said the present USD five-billion budget approved for the ministry far lags behind needed power projects and the ministry's actual requirements in 2014.
"The minister said he had asked parliament to increase his ministry's budget allocations for 2014 from USD five billion to $11 billion," Al Sabah newspaper and the Iraqi Media Network said, quoting a statement by the minister's office.
"He told the parliament that the current budget does not cover more than 50% of the ministry's required funds for new projects to meet growing power needs in the country. He said there is an urgent need to build new power generation and supply stations in some residential areas," according to the media reports.
It quoted the minister as saying the additional funds are also needed to pay dues to contractors who have completed power projects over the past few years.
