Iraq provides poor families with free solar energy systems
Baghdad ( – Iraq's Government Communication Team unveiled a new initiative on Monday to deliver free solar energy systems to homes with limited incomes. Head of the Government Communication Team Ammar Monim told the Iraqi News Agency (INA) that the new initiative is part of the government's strategy to promote the use of sustainable energy and is set to be extended to other Iraqi provinces. The Government Communication Team will spearhead the initiative, in collaboration with donors, to provide low-income families with solar panels, according to Monim. The Iraqi official added that solar energy equipment will be distributed to roughly 2,500 Iraqi homes through several stages. As part of a goal to improve supply reliability and reduce demand on the national grid, Iraq has recently begun carrying out an advanced phase of its renewable energy transition initiative, including the installation of solar energy systems in government buildings. The initiative includes installing solar systems in hundreds of government buildings, with an anticipated completion date in 2026. The Iraqi Ministry of Electricity has confirmed the continuation of the first phase of the project, which intends to convert 534 government buildings to solar energy systems. The list contains ministerial buildings, universities, schools, private banks, and health care facilities. In a related development, Iraq's first fully independent residential village powered by solar energy was launched in May, a step that coincided with the inauguration of a solar power plant at Baghdad's government palace, laying the groundwork for further usage of renewable energy on both the public and governmental levels. The Iraqi government intends to diversify power sources and relieve strain on the national system, which is plagued by chronic bottlenecks and government usage that consumes around 30 percent of total production of electricity. The Rwanga Foundation, a non-profit organization located in the northern Iraqi city of Erbil, launched last May the country's first completely solar-powered village. The Kulak village, located in the Harir province of the Kurdistan region of Iraq, is currently equipped with 195 solar panels that supply power to 36 homes, along with a mosque, a school, and a community center. Despite recent advancements, achieving solar transformation in Iraq will need long-term commitment, investment-friendly regulations, and legislation that promotes the integration of renewable energy into the public sector. Early signs suggest that solar energy in Iraq is becoming a crucial part of the country's effort to alleviate the electricity issue and offer a more sustainable environment for the next generation.
