Germiyan Agricultural Power Station165 MW Natural Gas

GasVerified: Feb 2026

Ranked as the 71st largest power generation facility in Iraq, the وێستگەی کارەبای ئەگریکۆی گەرمیان stands out with a capacity of 165 MW, contributing approximately 0.28% to the national energy landscape. Commissioned in 2023 by Aggreko Limited, this gas-fired plant plays a crucial role in a country where gas is the dominant fuel type, accounting for a significant portion of the total 58,413 MW capacity of Iraq's 104 power plants. The facility operates using advanced gas turbine technology, allowing for efficient energy conversion and flexibility in meeting varying demand. Its position within the energy grid is particularly important given Iraq's ongoing development and increasing energy needs. Within a 50 km radius, the Bawanur Dam, a hydroelectric plant with a capacity of 32 MW, is the only nearby facility, highlighting the isolation of گەرمیان in terms of regional energy resources. This isolation also underscores the importance of گەرمیان in providing reliable power to surrounding communities. In the broader context of Iraq's energy profile, where gas ranks 44th among 51 gas plants, گەرمیان demonstrates the potential for growth in gas generation. As Iraq moves towards stabilizing and expanding its energy infrastructure, the establishment of this facility is a forward-looking step, promising to enhance energy security and support economic development in the region.
