SOLAR COULD HELP IRAQ BOOST OIL EXPORTS BY 250,000 BPD
Iraq plans to boost crude oil exports by 250,000 barrels per day by replacing domestic oil-based power generation with solar energy. This shift, while not abandoning fossil fuels, will free up more oil for export and increase national revenues. Though solar currently provides less than 1% of Iraq’s electricity, projects like TotalEnergies’ 1-GW plant mark the start of ambitious plans to reach 12 GW of solar capacity by 2030. Simultaneously, Iraq aims to raise oil production from 4.4 million to 7 million bpd by 2030, pursuing both renewable expansion and fossil fuel growth.
