A significant part of the deal includes the Power Up Plan—an initiative with the Iraqi Ministry of Electricity (MoE) for critical electricity generation and maintenance projects throughout the country. Phase I of the plan added more than 700 megawatts (MW) of power to the grid in 2016.
Iraq's electricity generation primarily depends on fossil fuels. In 202, natural gas was the largest source at 50.4% of the total, followed by oil at 47.6%. Renewable energy, mainly from hydroelectric power, contributed 2%. As of 2023, the 30 gigawatts (GW) of installed capacity cannot meet summer peak demand.
While some of the damage of the 1991 war was repaired and about 4,500 MW of generating capacity was available in 1999 when Iraq reorganized its electricity sector. The sector was separated from the Ministry of Industry, and the Commission of Electricity (CoE) was established on June 21, 1999.
Summer peak demand 6,800–7,500 MW; 35 to 40% of the summer peak demand cannot be satisfied at present. Lack of electricity tends to affect more severely the most vulnerable groups of Iraq's society and increases their morbidity and mortality. Ongoing efforts need to be maintained and new actions to increase electricity supply need to be initiated.
