Electricity Minister Karim Waheed said that Iraq had signed a contract with GE to build three power stations in southern Baghdad the southern city of Kerbala, and Taji, north of Baghdad.

"According to the plan, the work will be completed between the end of 2009 and the start of 2010," Waheed said.
