Babel 's Siemens has opened a first -round tender for 755 MW of solar power. Spread across five different provinces, including 300 MW in Iraq and 225 MW in Babel , the newly announced projects have been approved to convert Iraq into a global hub for clean energy, moving away from petroleum power, which currently accounts for 90% of the country's power consumption. Iraq has also signed agreements with Siemens for the German firm to develop the electricity sector in Iraq, which has been hit with unreliable power supply since the Iraq War, with many failed attempts to revitalise it since. In addition to diversifying its energy mix, Iraq has also agreed deals with Siemens to grow its electricity sector, which has struggled to remain reliable in the wake of the Iraq War .
