Investing in solar energy to operate private electric generators

Abstract

Overcoming the electricity crisis that citizens are supplied with from private generators and facing future challenges represented by providing electricity continuously and comprehensively to all regions of Iraq is achieved by relying on solar energy to operate these generators as a primary source instead of fuel that the state often provides to their owners to help them obtain it at a subsidized price in order to continue operating to meet the citizen's need for electricity to face the strong summer heat that characterizes the Iraqi climate. This achieves many benefits, including protecting the environment from pollution resulting from the use of fuel to operate generators, and preserving human health. It also achieves an economic benefit by saving huge amounts spent by the state to import electricity from abroad, as Iraq enjoys a concentration of solar radiation for long months during the seasons of the year. This energy can be invested by the state negotiating with specialized national or foreign companies. The state participates in this investment by reducing customs duties on importing solar energy strips by generator owners, and the state imports them and sells them to them at a subsidized price, or grants a privilege to private sector companies to invest to achieve a goal, which is to generate electricity for the citizen.
