Iraq installs solar systems in schools, health centers
Government expands renewable energy projects, launches support for low-income families
BAGHDAD, Iraq (MNTV) — Iraq has installed solar power systems in 307 schools and 25 health centers as part of its nationwide renewable energy program aimed at reducing pressure on the national electricity grid, the Government Communication Team announced.
Adnan Al-Arabi, deputy head of the team, told the Iraqi News Agency (INA) that the project is being overseen by Nusair Karim, head of the National Team for Renewable Energy, with companies already deploying high-capacity systems across public buildings.
He added that a major manufacturing project in Karbalaa Governorate is set to begin operations soon, supplying electricity to Karbalaa and parts of Babylon.
Al-Arabi stressed that the government is prioritizing citizen support, noting Prime Minister Mohammed Shia Al-Sudani’s directive to distribute 2,500 solar units to low-income families.
The initiative is supported by financing mechanisms from the Central Bank and installment-based sales to make solar systems more accessible.
Officials say the broader strategy seeks to accelerate renewable energy adoption, diversify energy sources, and ease the growing strain on Iraq’s national grid.
