Iraq plans 20,000 MW of new thermal and solar power
The Iraqi Ministry of Electricity is working on implementing a plan to add 20,000 megawatts to the national grid through the development of thermal and solar power plants, as well as converting gas stations from simple-cycle to combined-cycle systems to increase production. Although current output ranges between 20,000 and 22,000 megawatts, peak summer loads reach around 60,000 megawatts due to expansions, unplanned developments, and violations on the network. The plan includes increasing capacity by commissioning thermal stations with a capacity of up to 10,000 megawatts and establishing similar solar plants, with a focus on improving the efficiency of existing stations. The goal of the plan is to meet the rising electricity demand driven by population growth, while emphasizing the integrated development of production, distribution, and transmission to ensure the stability of Iraq's electrical system.
