Under the former regime, Baghdad got 24 hours of free electricity daily, while large parts of the rest of the country received none. By the end of 2006, the U.S. Corps Army of Engineers' Gulf Region Division had started 520 electricity-related projects and completed 220 of them. The area outside of Baghdad now averages some 12-14 hours of power per day.
