Comment on implementation status

No. 2 of Hassad said in November 2012 that everything is on hold as they cannot get the necessary electricity supplies, they have not started to implement farming operations or prepare the land for it, although part of the canal and booster stations have been built. The delay is due to lack of cheap electricity.
