Abstract
For quite some time now, Iraq has witnessed a great shortage, not only in the production of electric power, but even in the distribution system. In addition to this shortage, which exacerbates the problem is the large increase in the population of Iraq, in addition to the great problems that the country has experienced, especially the fierce confrontation with ISIS terrorist gangs, which drained a lot of Iraq’s human and material energies and negatively affected the energy reality in our country, not to mention the All or most of our electric power plants run on heavy fossil fuels and have old technology tracks. Iraq has power shortages, and there are various obstacles that must be solved in order to keep up with projected demand. Based on the results of this study, it appears that solar, wind, and biomass energy are underutilized at now but have the potential to significantly contribute to Iraq's renewable energy future. Wind power offshore in the Gulf (near Basrah in southern Iraq) also has untapped potential that has to be explored. There has been talk about the Iraqi government's efforts to harness green energy. The purpose of this article is to examine and debate the present and future of renewable energy in Iraq. Renewable energy applications such as solar, wind, and biomass have been discussed. Finally, suggestions for making use of various energy sources are provided.
