Independent Deputy Kazem Al-Fayyad considered that the electricity crisis in Iraq is political rather than technical, which makes it "impossible to address." Al-Fayyad stated that "Iraq has been suffering from an electricity crisis for many years, and despite spending billions of dollars, the crisis continues to worsen every summer." He added that "the electricity crisis in Iraq is political and not technical, with both internal and external parties behind this crisis; therefore, there is no hope for resolving it in the presence of this political will, which has significant financial benefits for those parties."
In contrast to this view, specialists believe that the electricity crisis is simply linked to the absence of regulation for the increasing annual consumption. While Iraq's production is 25,000 megawatts, the demand exceeds 40,000 megawatts, which renders the ministry "unable" to meet the annual demand, which can only be regulated by correctly imposing collection.
