Document Details:
Iraq’s electricity distribution network is overloaded and in need of significant investment to be able to meet current and future demand. The system is also negatively impacted by the absence of effective metering, billing systems, and customer management systems, which leads to significant technical and non-technical losses. To support an effort to improve the system, the Public-Private Infrastructure Advisory Facility (PPIAF) analyzed the current overall performance of Iraq’s distribution sector against international benchmarks and developed a roadmap for reform and improved distribution sector performance.
