GGIP: More energy, less emissions
TotalEnergies launched the multi-energy Gas Growth Integrated Project (GGIP) in Iraq in 2023. The GGIP is designed to enhance the development of the country’s natural resources and improve its electricity supply. This 4-in-1 project comprises the recovery of gas that is currently flared at three oil fields in southern Iraq to supply electric power plants, the redevelopment of the Ratawi oil field, and the construction of a 1 GWac(1) (1.25 GWp(2)) solar farm and of a seawater treatment plant.
Four projects led by a consortium composed of
45% TotalEnergies
30% Basrah Oil Company
25% QatarEnergy
Around 10 billion of investments
