Solar & Storage EPC in Iraq
Iraq's constraint is not solar resource or land — it is grid reliability. That makes hybrid systems and storage the practical entry point rather than straightforward grid-tied export.

The market
Iraq has among the strongest solar resource in the region and a persistent supply deficit, with large numbers of businesses and households relying on private diesel generation to bridge grid outages. The commercial case for solar here is therefore built on displacing diesel and improving reliability, not on export tariffs.
That reframes the engineering. A system designed purely for grid export assumes a stable grid to export into. A system designed for Iraq assumes interruption and is built around storage, controlled islanding and generator integration.
Diesel displacement is the honest business case. Where a facility is paying for private generation, solar plus storage competes against the delivered cost of diesel rather than against a subsidised grid tariff. That is a much easier comparison to win.

Where we fit
Our parent group has decades of onshore drilling and logistics experience in demanding operating environments, and that operational capability — mobilising crews and equipment where infrastructure is limited — is directly relevant to project delivery in Iraq.
What we deliver
- Hybrid solar, storage and generator systems for industrial and commercial sites
- Diesel displacement projects with measured fuel-saving guarantees
- Utility-scale solar EPC
- Off-grid systems for remote operations and oilfield facilities
- EPC-plus-financing structured with international partners
- Long-term operations and maintenance
Frequently asked questions
Why is solar attractive in Iraq?
Because many businesses rely on private diesel generation to cover grid outages. Solar with storage competes against the delivered cost of diesel rather than against a subsidised grid tariff, which makes the economics substantially stronger.
What kind of system suits Iraq?
Hybrid systems built around storage, controlled islanding and generator integration, rather than pure grid-export designs that assume a stable network.
Do you have experience operating in difficult environments?
Our parent, Arabian Group of Companies, has operated onshore drilling and logistics since 1988, including mobilising crews and equipment to sites with limited supporting infrastructure.
