China Energy Engineering Corporation wins bid for Iraq's largest solar power plant
China Energy Engineering Corporation (CEEC) has won the bid to build Iraq's largest solar power plant, a project that will provide much-needed electricity to the country.
The project, which is expected to cost around $1 billion, will see CEEC build a 1-gigawatt solar power plant in the southern province of Basra. The plant is expected to be completed by 2024 and will generate enough electricity to power 1 million homes.
The project is a major step forward for Iraq, which has been struggling to meet its growing energy needs.
The country currently relies heavily on imported energy, and the new solar power plant will help to reduce its dependence on foreign sources.
The project is also a sign of the growing interest in renewable energy in Iraq.
The country has set a target of generating 20% of its electricity from renewable sources by 2030.
The CEEC project is a major step towards achieving this goal.
The project is expected to create jobs and boost the local economy.
CEEC has said that it will use local contractors and workers to build the plant.
The project is also expected to have a positive impact on the environment.
The solar power plant will generate clean, renewable energy, which will help to reduce Iraq's carbon emissions.
The CEEC project is a major milestone for Iraq's energy sector.
The plant will provide much-needed electricity to the country, reduce its dependence on imported energy, and help it to achieve its renewable energy goals.
