Background
Historically the Basrah state steel plant consumed under 100 MW of electricity.[5] However due to looting and damages the plant stopped production in 2003.[6] Turkey's UB Holding won the contract to rehabilitate the steel plant in 2012,[7] but after 2016 a task force began investigating delays in the project.[8]
As of July 2021 it is unclear if the steel plant was rehabilitated or if plans for the proposed power plant are moving forward. The project is assumed to be shelved.
