US, Iraq Collaborate on Electricity and Energy

The U.S. Department of Energy recently conducted a workshop, supported by the SFA, to provide tools and methods for Iraqi engineers to enhance efficiency and safety of electricity distribution.

A recent workshop in Baghdad, conducted by the United States Department of Energy’s (DOE) Office of Electricity Delivery and Energy Reliability, focused on electricity operations and maintenance for 20 Iraqi engineers from the Ministry of Electricity who work at power plants across Iraq.

Iraqi participants were provided with the tools and methods to enhance efficiency and safety in the generation, transmission, and distribution of electricity.

The workshop was part of the Department of State-funded Iraqi Energy Reliability, Survivability, and Resiliency Program, which supports the U.S.-Iraq Strategic Framework Agreement (SFA), with the specific goal of facilitating the Government of Iraq’s capabilities to deliver essential services to its citizens.
