In a strategic move toward harnessing the untapped potential of Iraq''s solar landscape, major global photovoltaic (PV) players are taking the lead in shaping the nation''s green energy sector.
Value of the deal was not disclosed. The developments fall under Iraq’s Gas Growth Integrated Project, which aims to up the country’s power generation capacity and gas production. The French energy giant signed the USD 27-billion contract to begin construction of four energy projects in the country in July 2023.
Though the projects represent a total investment of approximately $10 billion (100% share), as confirmed by TotalEnergies, the Financial Times reported that Iraq authorities put the figure at $27 billion once operating spending is included.
TotalEnergies will take a 45% stake in the project, with QatarEnergy taking a 25% stake and state-owned Basrah Oil Company taking the remaining 30% stake. Energy giant TotalEnergies has signed a contract with Vallourec for supply of casing and tubing for its Gas Growth Integrated Project in Iraq.
TotalEnergies and the Iraqi government have struck a deal to salvage an estimated $27 billion in energy projects designed to boost the country’s electricity production, but whose launch has been delayed for nearly 2 years by a conflict over the size of Baghdad’s stake in the deal.
The Gas Growth Integrated Project will capture and supply flare gas to generate electricity and treat seawater to manage pressure in oil wells in Iraq’s Basra region.
The agreement announced on 5 April followed months of negotiations, including four personal meetings between Iraq’s Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani and TotalEnergies’ Chairman and CEO Patrick Pouyanné, to break the deadlock over a development and production contract signed by the two parties in September 2021, TotalEnergies said.
