Plans for up to 1GW of solar capacity at the Siba wet gas field as well as 200MW of wind throughout Iraq suggest China’s UEG is eying a shift to renewables.
Chinese private sector firm UEG is awaiting approval from Iraqi state Basrah Oil Company (BOC) for a 200MW solar PV project it plans to build at its Siba wet gas field in Iraq’s Basra province.
MEES is told that while technical plans have been finalized, UEG has been advised by BOC to keep the project on hold until new minister Hayan Abdulghani completes his handover.
