    Baghdad/Al-Masala: The electricity problem in Iraq is one of the most prominent issues that has troubled citizens and aroused their discontent over many years.
    Despite the enormous natural resources and large budgets allocated to this sector, the electricity situation is still suffering from severe deterioration.
    Iraq suffers from a severe shortage of electricity with increasing demand, which directly affects the daily lives of citizens and hinders economic and social development in the country.
    The electricity dilemma in Iraq is manifested through continuous power outages and the instability of the electrical grid, which causes widespread discontent among citizens.
    This situation raises many questions about how the funds allocated to improve the electricity sector are spent, especially with the continuous increase in financial allocations to this sector.
    In 2023, the Ministry of Electricity’s allocations amounted to about 15 trillion dinars, while it rose to about 19 trillion dinars in 2024. However, the country’s energy production levels are still at their lowest.
    Retired electrical engineer Ali Al-Hussain spoke about the reasons behind this worsening crisis, saying: “From my experience in this field, I can say that the main problem lies in corruption and mismanagement. There are projects that were announced but were not implemented on the ground, and others were implemented at exorbitant costs without achieving tangible results. In addition, there is a lack of good planning and an unfair distribution of available energy, which leads to the damage of areas most in need of energy, such as Karbala, which received millions of pilgrims during Arbaeen and was unable to provide stable electricity.”
    Citizen Ahmed Al-Ali expressed his dissatisfaction with the current situation, saying: “We are paying the price for mismanagement and corruption. How can we spend all this money and not see any improvement in the electricity situation? Life has become very difficult with the frequent power outages, and our children suffer in the extreme heat in the summer and the bitter cold in the winter. We demand that those responsible be held accountable and that radical solutions be provided to this disastrous situation.”
    Corruption and mismanagement
    Statements by the member of the Parliamentary Legal Committee, Mohammed Al-Khafaji, indicate the existence of major suspicions of corruption in the management of the electricity file in Iraq, as he described the allocations of the Ministry of Electricity as “the theft of the century.”
    Al-Khafaji called for the Minister of Electricity to be questioned to investigate the country’s deteriorating energy situation, which reflects a general dissatisfaction with the government’s performance in this area. Corruption and mismanagement do not stop at inefficient spending, but extend to the lack of effective oversight mechanisms to ensure that funds are properly directed and projects are implemented efficiently.
    As the electricity situation in Iraq continues to deteriorate, a solution remains elusive unless corruption and mismanagement are seriously addressed. There is an urgent need for comprehensive structural reforms in the electricity sector, including the development of long-term strategic plans and the activation of the role of oversight and accountability to ensure the improvement of electricity services for citizens, while Iraq needs wise leadership and bold decisions to save this vital sector from the ongoing crises and achieve sustainable development
