The Knowledge Power Station is a key infrastructure asset in Iraq's power generation grid, located on the continent of Asia. Designated as a fossil fuel electricity generation station, the facility features an installed capacity of 0 MW. Its primary operation relies on harnessing oil energy resources to generate bulk electricity. The plant's operating entity is not publicly declared in national utility registries. An exact commissioning date for the installation is not registered in official historical logs. In terms of domestic production capacity within Iraq, Knowledge Power Station occupies the #24 position among all operational oil power plants. Its 0 MW capacity represents a 0.00% share of Iraq's total installed oil generating capacity, which currently stands at 11,237 MW. The largest operational oil installation in Iraq is the Al-Shemal with an output of 2,100 MW, making the Knowledge Power Station approximately 1.0 times smaller by comparison. Across all fuel types and electricity generation technologies country-wide, this facility accounts for 0.0000% of Iraq's aggregate generation capacity of 58,413 MW. Based on historical capacity factors characteristic of oil power plants (modeled at 15% for analysis), the facility's expected annual electricity generation is calculated at approximately 0 MWh. Applying domestic consumption statistics where an average household in Iraq consumes 3 MWh of electricity annually, this level of production is sufficient to meet the energy demands of roughly 0 homes. By utilizing traditional thermal power processes, the station delivers reliable dispatchable energy to the grid, supporting grid resilience during periods of low renewable resource availability and satisfying industrial base-load demands. The physical site of the station is located at geographic coordinates 32.9305° latitude and 44.3575° longitude. Analysis of local grid infrastructure shows a density of other assets within a 50-kilometer radius. These nearby facilities include the Basmaya Power Generation Station (gas-fired, 5000 MW), the Al-Mussaib (oil-fired, 1280 MW), the Al-Mussaib Thermal Power Station (gas-fired, 1280 MW), representing a cluster of localized power assets. This geographic placement is vital for reinforcing regional distribution infrastructure and minimizing transmission line losses across this sector of Iraq.
