Powering Iraq is set to take place in Baghdad from 10-11 July to focus on the development and investment opportunities in the country?s power and electricity sectors

The conference will offer unique insight from high-level government officials and leading multinationals on the next step towards restoring and rebuilding Iraq?s power demands.

Years of conflict, damage and neglect have left Iraq?s power and electricity sector in need of substantial international investment and technical expertise. Recently, Iraq?s government has started to make significant progress in restoring power generation and licensing new projects within the country.

Some of the conference?s important agendas include:

- An assessment of Iraq?s current electricity infrastructure: bridging the gap between demand and supply

- Fast-tracking generation capacity for summer 2019: boosting overall grid efficiency

- Multinational companies: how can they help power Iraq?

- Upgrading Iraq?s power infrastructure: exploring advances in storage technology

- Capitalising on Iraq?s natural gas: highlighting the importance of gas-fired power stations

- Investment opportunities in electricity, power, renewables and associated sectors in Iraq

- Renewable Energy in Iraq: analysing the role of renewables in Iraq?s economic transformation.
