Ranked as the 69th largest power generation facility in Iraq, the محطة الكحلاء الغازية plays a crucial role in the country's energy landscape, contributing 0.31% to the national capacity. Commissioned in 2013, this gas-fired plant has a generation capacity of 180 MW, positioning it as the 43rd largest gas plant out of 51 across the nation. The facility utilizes advanced gas turbine technology to efficiently convert natural gas into electricity, making it vital in a country where gas is the dominant fuel source, accounting for a significant portion of the 58,413 MW total capacity from 104 plants. The local energy mix is also influenced by nearby power generation facilities, including the محطة كهرباء ديزلات شمال الديوانية, which produces 201.6 MW of electricity using oil, and the مجمع البزركان النفطي, which adds 120 MW with its gas capacity. This proximity to other plants highlights the interconnected nature of Iraq's energy infrastructure, although the محطة الكحلاء الغازية remains a significant standalone contributor in its specific region. As Iraq continues to seek energy diversification and increased capacity, the plant's role will be essential in balancing the grid and meeting the demands of its growing population. Operated by the Ministry of Electricity, the محطة الكحلاء الغازية stands as a testament to Iraq's ongoing efforts to modernize its energy sector and enhance its reliability.
