Will Iraq's Electricity Supply be improved if we just improve efficiency?

“Even if we just improve on the efficiency side,” he says, “the delivery of electricity to Iraq’s homes and factories will be improved.” Iraq’s current power generation capacity stands at 19 gigawatts according to former officials at the ministry of electricity.

Why is Iraq's energy system vulnerable?

However the capacity to capture and process this gas has not kept pace. The inability to utilise its gas riches means that the country's gas deficit has grown, and Iraq now relies on imports from Iran to meet increasing demand. This has introduced a number of vulnerabilities to Iraq’s energy system.

How much energy does Iraq use?

Iraq still partly relies on outside energy sources to feed its electricity grid, importing up to 1,200 megawatts of electricity per year and up to some 1.2 billion standard cubic feet per day of gas when demand hits a peak during baking summer times.

How has war affected Iraq's power infrastructure?

Despite the extraordinary challenges of war in recent years, Iraq has made impressive gains, nearly doubling the country’s oil production over the past decade. But the turmoil has also undermined the country’s ability to maintain and invest in its power infrastructure.

Will Iraq's oil production increase if water availability increases?

One impeding barrier is the availability of water, as planned oil production will require a level of water production above what has been achieved so far. Assuming an increase in water availability, Iraq’s production to 2030 grows by around 1.3 mb/d, making it the third largest contributor to global oil supply in that time.
