Prime Minister Mohammed Shia' Al Sudani inaugurated the Debes [Dibs] Gas Power Plant in Kirkuk via video link, marking the completion of a 320 MW facility that had been stalled since 2004.
Restarted in late 2022, the project overcame significant legal, administrative, and logistical challenges, according to a statement from the Prime Minister's office.
The Prime Minister highlighted the importance of completing delayed infrastructure projects, especially in the electricity sector, to address urgent energy needs amid high temperatures.
The plant, managed by the Northern Region Electricity Production Company, is crucial for Iraq's energy grid and operates on multiple fuel types.
Al Sudani also announced ongoing efforts to develop a new economic model for large-scale energy production projects, set to be unveiled soon.
