Study on the Energy Sector in Iraq

Date: 2012
Type: Energy and climate change, Energy Market Research
Location: Iraq

Iraq's national energy infrastructure has suffered due to the past decades of political turmoil. The first
steps to mobilise the private sector were made. In the subsector of electricity the Iraqi government
adopted last year an Electricity Master Plan for Iraq 2010-2030. However, the needs in the energy
sector are still far from being covered. The global objective of the project is to formulate recommendations/options for an energy action programme for EU-Iraq cooperation covering the period until 2015. This involved the following activities:
1) An in-depth analysis of the Iraq energy sector
2) Draft recommendations/options for potential EU-Iraq energy cooperation
