Finally, good news from Iraq: the Minister of Electricity of the country has announced that his ministry will carry out a project to supply Baghdad with solar electricity. Not bad for a country that sits on oil.
He added that the Ministry of Electricity would cooperate with the Ministry of Industry to carry out the next phase of the project which includes supplying Baghdad's residential areas with electricity.
Dr. Waheed indicated that the project will include illuminating the city's "public squares, bridges and streets" with solar energy, for which the Iraqi government will welcome Iraqi investors' funding. This is undoubtedly a good example of how renewable technologies can help in reconstruction eras.
