Exhibition Preview: Pntech will attend the eleventh Iraq Energy Exhibition 2026

一、Overview of Iraq's Photovoltaic and Energy Storage Market

As one of the most promising energy markets in the Middle East, Iraq is currently experiencing a period of policy dividends and intensive construction for the PV and energy storage industries.

1.Dual advantages of policy and resources

Iraq's "Energy Strategy 2030" explicitly positions PV as the core of its energy transition, with a target to increase the installed capacity of renewable energy to 12GW, accounting for 33% of the electricity mix. Since 2024, the government has implemented a tax exemption policy for the import of PV equipment, allowing 100% foreign ownership of power plant projects, and established a $680 million clean energy fund to provide financial support. Meanwhile, Iraq boasts an average annual sunshine duration exceeding 3,000 hours, with the southern region experiencing an annual irradiance of 2,200 kWh/m², offering world-leading natural conditions for PV power generation.

2.The project construction has entered its peak period

In 2026, multiple large-scale PV projects will usher in crucial progress:

Kut 1000MW Solar Power Generation Project

Muthana 750MW Solar Power Plant

Basra 1.25GW Solar Project

In addition, the government plans to simultaneously launch 1.75GW of new solar energy projects in Karbala, Muthanna, and other provinces. Chinese enterprises are deeply involved in the development and construction of these projects, and market demand continues to be released.

3.The power deficit gives rise to rigid demand for energy storage

Iraq currently faces a power deficit of up to 7-10GW, with 40% of its electricity relying on imports. The aging of the power grid has led to a transmission loss rate of over 35%, with some areas experiencing daily power outages lasting up to 12 hours. The mandatory installation of energy storage for photovoltaic projects has become a policy trend, with the energy storage market expected to reach a scale of 8-20 billion US dollars, covering household, industrial, commercial, and utility sectors.

4.The demand for cables continues to grow

The PV power station, energy storage system supporting facilities, and the grid upgrade plan for a 1000-kilometer high-voltage direct current line jointly drive the demand for high-quality cable products in the Iraqi market. The insufficient production capacity of local enterprises provides market space for international brands with technological advantages.

二、Pntech: Providing Highly Adaptive Solutions for the Iraqi Market
