UAE’s Masdar plans to build solar power facility in Iraq

Baghdad (IraqiNews.com) – Masdar (Abu Dhabi Future Energy Company), a UAE business, intends to construct a solar power facility in Iraq. In its initial phase, the solar power plant is anticipated to have an output capacity of 1,000 megawatts (MW).

Ali Fadil, the Minister of Electricity in Iraq, met with representatives of Masdar in Baghdad to talk about the project’s progress and development. Neither the project’s location nor its price were revealed.

The Iraqi cabinet would still need to approve the project.

Recent contracts for the construction of 7.5 GW of solar power parks around the nation have been awarded by Iraq to many international recognized companies.
