Iraq is more stable than it has been in decades but still faces enormous security and energy challenges, including the risk of spillover from Iran-Israel hostilities, dependence on unreliable Iranian gas amid
Iraq’s total operating refining capacity is about 1.2 million b/d.27 The Iraqi government plans to reduce petroleum product imports by rehabilitating the refining sector and building new refineries, but the government has struggled in its efforts to attract the foreign investment needed in the downstream sector.
Iraq will continue to mostly use oil to meet energy demand until it develops more natural gas processing capacity and pipeline infrastructure. Federal Iraq refers to the political entity that is governed by the central government of Iraq in Baghdad.
Nearly all (about 98%) of Iraq’s electricity generation is from oil and natural gas.62 Natural gas use in the electric power sector increased after 2016 because Iraq began importing natural gas from Iran to increase its own supplies. Hydroelectricity accounts for most of the remaining share of electricity production.63
