A meeting was held to review the use of smart solutions for managing renewable energy in Baghdad's districts and sub-districts, with a focus on solar power and smart meters.The discussion covered proposed investment mechanisms for renewable energy projects, target production levels, and the selection of suitable locations based on solar exposure. The aim is to support the city's electricity supply ahead of next summer's peak demand.It was noted that peripheral areas of the capital consume around 30-35 percent of Baghdad's total supplied electricity. Medium-scale solar power networks combined with smart meters are planned to offset this demand, with new solar stations expected to cover this share once operational.The meeting also addressed investment frameworks, production capacity, billing mechanisms and land allocation for medium-scale solar projects. A major project with a planned output of around 750 megawatts per day was reviewed.The relevant ministries and state land authorities were instructed to accelerate coordination and prepare designated land to allow implementation and increase production capacity in time for the summer period.
