Background

The Al-Faw Port FSRU will be "a fixed platform for processing imported gas" that will "help ensure a reliable electricity supply to Iraq." As of November 2023, the Iraqui government had "allocated US$1.5 billion for the project, which is expected to be financed by public and private funds." The platform is expected to be finished by 2026, but no detailed information has yet been disclosed regarding ownership and investments.
