Iraq's National Investment Commission (NIC) has hosted a joint meeting with the Ministries of Industry and Minerals and Electricity to discuss the technical proposal for establishing a turbine maintenance workshop.
The proposal was presented by the French engineering company "Warmer" [IBN believes it to be Wamar Engineering], along with its Iraqi partner, Al-Waqd for Contracting and Services.
The meeting, chaired by the Commission's Economic and Institutional Development Advisor, Zafar Taqi, and attended by Dr. Mona Al-Jaberi, the Commission's Renewable Energy Consultant, and representatives from the two ministries, included a technical presentation on the workshop's operations.
According to a statement from the Commission, this workshop marks the first of its kind in Iraq, encompassing maintenance of turbines used in various sectors such as electricity, oil, aviation, and more. It adds:
"The discussion emphasized the significance of establishing such workshops, positioning Iraq as a regional leader in this field. The workshop aims to maintain all operational turbines using modern technology and engineering expertise, facilitating quicker and more efficient turbine maintenance within Iraq.
"This initiative is expected to reduce reliance on foreign currencies, provide job opportunities for the youth, and train them in modern technologies within this vital sector."
