"Via both companies of Zagros and the German Energy Team, 15 towers were brought to Kurdistan Region," general director of electricity production at the Ministry, Diyar Tahir, told The Independent National News Agency of Kurdistan (AKnews) on Tuesday.

"Five towers would be set in each of Erbil, Duhok, and Sulaimaniyah cities for measuring the speed of wind," Tahir added.

"The process of measuring would take only a year, after getting the data it would become clear how much electricity could be produced from winds".

Data is weekly received from the satellites for knowing how far the Region is suitable for producing electricity from sun shine and wind.

It is been a long time Kurdistan Region was suffering from lack of electricity. As part of its efforts for uprooting electricity scarcity in the Region, KRG has been making continuous efforts for raising the level of electricity production.

kurdistan is ideal territory for solar PV installations, especially considering its cooler climate compared to southern Iraq.

A combination of wind + solar + hydro with the "backup" run on the captured flare gas can more than fill all of the regions energy needs. But they need to invest in a "smart grid" and make it completely integrated from the bottom up.
