International Energy: Iraq can export solar power NB-267674-636917938603404984

BAGHDAD (
Reuters) - Iraq's generators last year spent more than one-and-a-half times more than the electricity budget, the International Energy Agency (IEA) said on Thursday, citing the need for Iraq to rely on solar energy to generate electricity.

"What the generators in Iraq have received during the past year has reached four billion dollars, which is more than one and a half times the budget of the Ministry of Electricity," the agency's secretary-general Fatih Berool told a joint press conference with Iraqi Oil Minister Thamer Ghadhban in Baghdad.

"The wages of generators in Iraq are very large, four times larger than what consumers in Germany pay for electricity," he said.

"It is unacceptable," he said, calling for "strong and strong legislation to regulate this process."

"Iraq is rich in solar energy," he said.

It is noteworthy that Iraq suffers from a large shortage of electricity, which made most of the citizens turn to generators eligibility to compensate for that shortage.
