The Ministry of Electricity in Iraq has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with GE Vernova. The agreement outlines cooperation to develop up to 24 gigawatts (GW) of power using advanced gas turbine technologies, including H-class turbines.

The signing took place in Baghdad and was attended by Iraqi Prime Minister Muhammad Shia’ Al-Sudani. Iraq’s Minister of Electricity, Zeyad Ali Fadhil, and George Pickart from GE Vernova signed the agreement. The event was part of a U.S. trade mission organized by the U.S.-Iraq Business Council.

The project will explore pathways to add new power generation capacity. It includes installing new turbines and upgrading existing ones. GE Vernova stated that it has supported Iraq’s energy sector for nearly 60 years. In the past 15 years, the company added 19 GW of electricity capacity. It continues to maintain and service more than 10 GW.

Other past projects include building more than 30 electrical substations and helping connect Iraq’s grid with Jordan’s. The company also said it helped secure over $3 billion in financing for energy-related infrastructure. The current MoU does not give a timeline for construction or completion. It will serve as a base for further technical and financial discussions.

Apart from this project, Iraq is also working on several small-scale renewable energy initiatives. In Karbala, a solar project with a capacity of 5 MW is in development. It is being built near an industrial area to power nearby workshops.

In the Basra region, local authorities have approved the setup of pilot wind turbines near Zubair. These turbines will generate under 10 MW combined and are part of testing future wind potential in southern Iraq. In rural areas, small off-grid solar systems are being distributed to villages that do not have regular power. These systems range from 500 watts to 2 kilowatts and are used for lighting, water pumping, and basic appliances.
