The MoU will further enhance capacity building programs that will contribute to the optimum development of Iraq’s energy sector, the statement said.
“The MoU will certainly bridge alliances between ACWA Power and Iraqi energy players and is a robust start of a mutually beneficial relationship built on knowledge and exchange of energy proficiency between Saudi Arabia and Iraq,” ACWA Power Chairman, Mohammad Abunayyan, said.
The partnership will initiate professional dialogues and knowledge sharing that will bring about solutions which target challenges facing the region and elevate the private-public investor community in Iraq.
