Iraq’s Ministry of Electricity is boosting power efficiency by signing a cooperation deal with Saudi Arabia’s Continuous Nitrogen Services. The agreement targets improvements in the country’s electricity infrastructure.
The officials signed the deal during the Iraq Investment Conference in Baghdad. The agreement improves oil residue treatment at the Khayrat power station in Karbala. It allows the Hilla 2 facility to reuse industrial water efficiently, aiming to enhance power efficiency. The deal introduces advanced water treatment at power plants across Iraq. It also enables nitrogen-based pipeline cleaning at the Musayyib gas station. These measures reduce breakdowns and increase reliability.
Electricity Minister Ziad Ali Fadel attended the ceremony. Saudi Assistant Minister of Investment Ibrahim bin Youssef Al-Mubarak represented his country. Both sides included senior officials, ministry representatives, and the Saudi company’s Iraq branch manager. Their presence underlines the importance of power efficiency in the region.
Saudi companies have invested increasingly in Iraq’s energy sector over recent years. Analysts note that this partnership strengthens Riyadh’s role as a long-term collaborator. By applying innovative solutions, Iraq improves power efficiency across its aging infrastructure.
Officials expect the agreement to boost plant operations and maintenance. They said advanced water treatment and nitrogen-based pipeline cleaning will extend equipment life, all contributing to greater power efficiency. These actions ensure Iraq delivers a more stable and sustainable power supply.
Iraq faces growing demand for electricity. Energy experts emphasize that modern technology and operational improvements prevent frequent outages. By enhancing power efficiency, the country meets rising electricity needs and reduces environmental impact.
Saudi Arabia’s active involvement signals confidence in Iraq’s market. The agreement reflects both countries’ commitment to expand cooperation in energy projects nationwide.
The partnership brings Iraq closer to a reliable electricity grid. Leaders aim to achieve higher power efficiency, reduce breakdowns, and provide sustainable energy for the future.
