Some 7.5 gigawatts of the planned solar capacity are to come from utility-scale solar plants, and Iraq has reached agreements with developers – at varying stages – for projects that will add 4.5 gigawatts of the total. So far, only 2.3 gigawatts have been approved and are ready to move to the construction phase, with the rest still pending.
However, Iraq has a long way to go before it achieves its target. According to the latest statistics by the International Renewable Energy Agency, it had just 1,599 megawatts of renewable energy capacity at the end of 2023. Unleashing Iraq’s solar potential
While the country has several other solar plans in the pipeline, the TotalEnergies project is the first to proceed to the implementation phase. In April, the French company announced on its social media feed that it had signed land and interconnection contracts for the Ratawi solar plant.
However, supplies have often been erratic or halted during peak demand periods in Iran. In October 2023, Sudani announced a target of meeting one-third of Iraq’s electricity needs from renewable energy sources by 2030. Based on current demand trends, this would require the development of around 18 gigawatts of renewable energy capacity.
To make up the shortfall, Iraqis have had to resort to private generators that are expensive and cause pollution. According to the specialist publication Iraq Oil Report, citing a senior Electricity Ministry official, the current electricity demand in Iraq is 15 gigawatts, outstripping the supply of 14 gigawatts.
