The Iraqi Ministry of Oil signed an agreement with TotalEnergies and QatarEnergy to develop a 1.25 GW solar project as part of the Gas Growth Integrated Project in the country’s Basra region. Both companies would equally own the project, and it will consist of two million bifacial solar panels mounted on single-axis trackers to be installed in five 250 MW phases to come online between 2025 and 2027. Once completely operational, the solar project is expected to generate up to 1.25 GW of energy. The project will supply clean energy to approximately 350,000 homes in southern Iraq.
