Energy Sources and Utilization in Kurdistan -1Kurdistan region is one of the most abundant region for theenergy.

Kurdistan region's economy is dominated by the oil industry,agriculture and tourism. Due to relative peace in the region it
has a more developed economy in comparison to other partsof Iraq.
Available

Resources in Kurdistan: Natural gas, oil, longsummer sunlight, wind, mountainous and rivers considered tobe the main recognized sources for the energy.
 Due to the political background of the region at the last 13

years prior to Iraqi freedom operation the region remainedunresponsive to the demand of the energy needs “It cause avery high growth rate: CAGR for 2006-2011 is 14%” and nowis higher.
The Kurdistan Oil and Gas Law were approved on August 6,

2007, by the Kurdistan National Assembly. Kurdistan Region
receives 17% of all revenues from all oil production in all ofIraq.

Energy Source and Utilization in Kurdistan -3 The shortage of the other energy production likeoil and natural gas for heating people adhered todepend on the electrical power as a majorenergy source. Meanwhile electrical power
product partially depends on the availability ofsuch energy sources like natural gas. So thegovernmental sector of electricity is dealing withthe most difficult challenges at the present time.

 The electrical power demand is more than 3,000

MW in Kurdistan region while only 2,100 MW isavailable in February 2012.

IEEJ: August 2012 All Right ReservedSTRATEGIES:
Two strategies are performed for solving theelectrical problems in Kurdistan.
One is a short term strategy for production ofelectricity form the natural gas and oil residues
for power generation and establishing afunctional transmission line network to connect
the newly established generation stations withthe center of cities simultaneously installing acontrol system to the entire region finally
improving the distribution network inside thecities to ensure appropriate power delivery forthe end users.

Ensuringgas and oil for heating to decreaseloads on electrical power by the households.
Increase natural gas power generation stations.
To plan and think about the sunlight and wind
power utilization.
To plan a strategy for energy efficiency “HouseInsulation” and “Demand Side Management”.
Privatization of electricity sector.
