The Legal Nature of the Renewable Energy Investment Contract in Iraq- An Analytical Study in Federal Laws & the Kurdistan Region

In the present day, when the world is experiencing a decline in the environment due to the size of the risks
to increase carbon emissions, global warming, the sustainability of life in the future, and the detrimental
factors that cause the spread of epidemics and the destruction of nature, among other risk factors, renewable
energy sources are considered one of the most important economic and strategic commodities and an
important means to achieve development. Therefore, interest in renewable energy sources and investment in
them today is one of the fundamental concerns, and researchers have made it so that national and international
policies tend to establish projects for the production of renewable energy and invest in its sources, despite
the existence of numerous studies in this field in terms of technology and economics, unless this is required.
In order to assess investments in renewable energy sources in Iraq and the Kurdistan Region and their
susceptibility to economic, environmental, political, and international factors, the subject involves a legal
study. Additionally, turning to such energies is a certain necessity for achieving development objectives,
fostering economic growth, and enhancing energy services for the country's development plans in a variety
of fields. In light of the fact that the legal regulation of this type of energy source and investing in them is
one of the most crucial pillars in improving and developing the energy sector in the future, this process also
necessitates reliance on appropriate legal regulation by learning from the experiences of developed countries
in this field.
