Plans Announced for Clean Energy Projects Across Iraq

State-run Iraqi News Agency (INA) reports that plans have been announced to develop clean energy power plants in Baghdad, Basra and Nineveh.

It quotes the regional director of Shanghai (sic) as saying that the already-announced Nahrawan project in Baghdad will convert 5,000 tonnes of waste per day into 110MW of electricity, with construction to begin later this year. (In March 2025, the Prime Minister's Office said work had started on the project, which was awarded to the Chinese company Shanghai SUS Environment.)

It added that plans are also in place for similar projects in Nineveh and Basra, and in the Abu Ghraib area of Baghdad.
