Baghdad: Prime Minister Mohammad Shia Al-Sudani has instructed governorates to initiate pioneering projects in renewable energy aimed at achieving technical advancements.

According to National Iraqi News Agency, Al-Sudani chaired a meeting of the National Renewable Energy Team, which was attended by several governors and members of the Electricity File Committee. The meeting focused on exploring alternatives in smart and renewable energy, following the Prime Minister's directives to implement pioneering projects that alleviate pressure on the national grid during peak times. The projects will primarily rely on solar energy and other technological solutions for renewable energy.
