The Ministry of Natural Resources and the Ministry of Electricity in the Kurdistan region of Iraq jointly announced the suspension of natural gas exports from the Kormor field to electricity production stations. This decision was made due to the unusual circumstances and military escalation witnessed in the region, prioritizing the safety of workers at the Kormor site. As a result, Dana Gas has temporarily stopped supplies, which has led to a reduction in electricity production capacity by approximately 2,500 to 3,000 megawatts.

The Kormor field, recognized as the largest natural gas field in Iraq, supplies about 67% of the electricity needs of the Kurdistan region and also exports some gas to other Iraqi provinces. The recent decision has raised concerns regarding the region's electricity supply, and the Ministry of Electricity is seeking alternative energy sources to mitigate the impact of reduced production on citizens and subscribers in Kurdistan.

There have been multiple drone attacks on the Kormor complex, which supplies most of the power generation stations in the Kurdistan region over recent years, emphasizing the vulnerability of this critical infrastructure. The suspension of gas exports raises significant implications for energy security in the region and challenges the government's efforts to provide consistent electricity to the population amid ongoing tensions.
