Wasit Governorate held its inaugural conference on the transition to clean energy this week, led by Governor Dr. Mohammed Jameel Al-Mayahi and attended by the head of the National Renewable Energy Team, members of parliament, local officials, and international companies specialising in solar and wind energy.
The event showcased investment opportunities for establishing solar power plants across the governorate’s districts and sub-districts, aimed at addressing Iraq’s ongoing electricity crisis with sustainable solutions.
Governor Al-Mayahi highlighted growing interest from international firms to invest in Wasit, noting the availability of more than 25 clean energy investment opportunities totalling 3,000 megawatts. He invited global companies to submit offers beginning Sunday, 4 May 2025, with a 30-day submission window, but details of those projects were not provided in the press release or on the Wasit Governorate website.
