In the United Arab Emirates (UAE), Zawya reported that Iraq intends to award waste-to-energy projects in the capital Baghdad in the first quarter of 2024.
According to the report, the cabinet has approved the projects which will be awarded to global companies with relevant experience, said Mohammed Al-Rabei, a spokesman for Baghdad Municipality.
“Serious discussions will begin in the first quarter of this year for the award of such projects to giant companies on an investment basis,” the official said.
Rabei did not elaborate on these projects apart from saying a plant with a capacity of 3,000 tons of waste can generate nearly 80 megawatt-hours of electricity per day.
