Iraq is on the verge of a major transformation in solar energy, with all technical documents finalized and a request for proposals issued to integrate solar power across the country.

This large-scale initiative involves detailed planning, including the creation of a comprehensive government database and the formation of special committees to facilitate the solar rollout.

Following a successful pilot, the government plans to expand solar energy use to various sectors such as schools, health centers, and ministries, utilizing quick and smart solutions starting next year.

The next phase, scheduled for the following year, will focus on integrating solar energy into district and sub-district distribution sectors, opening up new investment opportunities.

The project includes installing solar systems with smart meters to develop investment opportunities and revolutionize the solar energy distribution sector across Iraq.

The National Team for Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency Projects has confirmed that solar systems at load centers will be technically, economically, and environmentally feasible.

A pilot solar project at the Government Palace, led by Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani, is set to launch as a pioneering step in deploying solar energy within government buildings.

Prime Minister al-Sudani has emphasized the importance of this pilot project, aiming to set a precedent for solar deployment across government infrastructure.
