Why it matters
The loss of feedstock from Khor Mor directly impacts roughly 2,000 megawatts of power generation serving internal regional demand. The event highlights a critical vulnerability in Kurdistan's energy system, which relies heavily on local gas supply rather than diversified fuel sources.
