Electrical energy is a vital sector in Iraq that requires much investment, restoration, and development. For this reason, Electricity and Power Iraq will be held concurrently with Project Iraq – Baghdad, bringing together international industry experts and local stakeholders to explore potential partnerships and investments. 

The electricity sector in Iraq presents many attractive investment opportunities to local and foreign investors. The government has ambitious plans to raise the sector's capacity through motivating investments from the private sector in the fields of building, operating, and supplying.
