Renewable Power Generation Costs in 2023
The levelised cost of electricity produced from most forms of renewable power continued to fall year-on-year in 2023, with solar PV leading the cost reductions, followed by offshore wind.
As of March 2024, the average cost of electricity from utility companies in Iraq (including power, distribution and transmission costs as well as taxes) is $0.015 per kWh for residential consumers and $0.046 per kWh for businesses. 3
Iraq's electrical power supply grid faces significant reliability challenges due to a combination of infrastructure damage, high loss rates, and frequent power outages. 456 Infrastructure Condition: The grid has suffered extensive damage from decades of conflict, resulting in inadequate transmission and distribution systems.
