81 Schools in the Kurdistan Region Now Powered by Solar Energy

The Ministry of Education of the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) has installed solar power systems in 81 schools across the governorates of Erbil, Slemani, Duhok, Halabja and Kirkuk.

Saman Siwayli, spokesperson for the ministry, stated that the initiative aims to ensure schools have uninterrupted 24-hour electricity, eliminating reliance on power generators.

To further expand the project, KRG Prime Minister Masrour Barzani has allocated IQD 5 billion to equip 76 additional schools with solar power systems. The initiative will continue until all schools across the Kurdistan Region are fully powered by solar energy.
