From an earlier U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Press Release.

“There are seven other similar projects. Six of these are 133kV substations and the other one is 33/11kV substation.

These smaller projects are no less important when you consider that the electric grid needs to have all these components in order to function properly. Once functioning, the citizens of Maysan Province will have a strong, reliable power grid that should experience fewer problems,” Eidson said.

“They will serve more than 785,000 residents and provide the principle power to the southern and central part of the province," he said.

Just another Official Press Release from USACE's Gulf Region Division that you will never see in the old media.

Built by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers at a cost of nearly $37 million ...

Paid for by your tax dollars even as maintenance on US infrastructure continues to put off indefinitely due to lack of funds.
