Introduction
Planning & Studies Office
The presentation covers a time span extending to the years ( )
Includes all the major components of electricity sectors (Generation, Transmission, Distribution & Renewable energy).
Gives the urgent needs to be addressed

4. Planning & Studies Office
Background
25 Year of war & lack of investment.
Significant damage to power plants, substations & transmission lines.
12 Year of sanctions had deprived (M.E) of any assets & resources to maintain or expand system accompanied by degradation.
These challenges had led (M.E) to prepare a very powerful Master Plan.
Fast Track gas power units contracts were singed in ( )
Actual start of Master Plan was 2008 when the Mega Deal to supply 56/GE F9Es (7000MW) + 18 unit/Siemens (3200MW) was actually budgeted and signed December 2008.
Installation of Mega Deal power units was delayed to 2010 due to the need for EPC contracts formulation consultations and assignment of budget.

23. Renewable energy program

24. Renewable energy program
In 2011 “Renewable energy & Environment Center” was established.
Renewable Energy programs have been approved in both Generation & Distribution sides.
Solar Potential in IRAQ:
5.7 kWh/m2/Day.
2050 kWh/m2/Year.

25. Renewable energy program
Generation side:
Utilize solar & wind power to supply small isolated locations that cannot economically be connected to the grid .
Install “on grid” & concentrated solar power (CSP) plants in later stages.

26. Renewable energy program
First stage
The first stage is to utilize solar and wind power to supply ten isolated areas:
Total capacity : 50 MW.
Total cost ( Estimated ) : 200 MUSD.
Current status : Tendering
Expected date of operation : 2014

27. Renewable Energy program

The renewable energy target is to reach 2% of the available power by the end of

30. Renewable energy program
Renewable energy (solar & wind) are promising , but technical and regulating measures are required to unleash their potentials.
Detailed solar atlas of Iraq need to be created.
Detailed wind atlas of Iraq need to be created.
Legislation ,incentives should be issued to promote renewable goals.
Technical assistance infrastructure of the center is required.

31. Renewable energy program Demand side management
Distribution side:
Demand side management
Solar water heaters.
Air-conditioning solar systems.
Lighting (L.E.D).
Domestic self generation units (PV).

32. Present and future strategies Planning & Studies Office
It’s Anticipated that the generation will match the demand during the year 2015.
Two strategies : :
Capacity additions to satisfy the unmet demand. :
Reduce demand (Demand side management).
Large scale conversion of the gas turbines in the plants of the
“ Mega Deal” from burning crude oil or HFO to burning Natural gas .
Large scale conversion of the simple cycle gas turbine units to combined cycle units.
Mapping technical potentials (Solar , Wind , Waste & Bio energy)

33. Strategies for the years (2012-2020) Planning & Studies Office
G=D
Reduce Demand.
Conversion of Gt units to burning N.G
Combined cycle units (CCGT).
Renewable Energy.
Capacity additions to meet the demand

Summary
Planning & Studies Office
A lot of work has been done already.
M.E have made a lot of progress , but there is still a great work to deal with, but it is setting itself up for the future
The ministry now has the planning tools and needs training and Consultations to carry-on the planning process
