Abstract:
Energy consumption considers one of the main indicators for measuring the level of economic development in the economy represented by energy consumption per capita. The energy, however, is a backbone of modern civilizations and a major part of social and economic progress. The significance of this research comes from its role in analysing determinants of oil and natural gas which are sufficient for local consumption and export in a low cost compared to renewable energy. In Iraq, Tigris and Euphrates and their tributaries canassist in generating a hydroelectric via utilizing dams and other related projects in reasonable costs. This research aims to analyse the demand for energy in the Iraqi economy over the period 2003 to 2012, as well as, studying determinants of energy demand and its future outlook, in which its high importance is not only in determination the advantage of energy, but in its impact on the economic growth and in setting suggestions for the developmental energy policy in Iraq in light of the energy determinants. Furthermore, the demand for energy resources depends on basic determinants such as population and economic growth, these two factors contribute significantly in the increase of level of energy demand. This research is designed to be in three chapters, the first section of chapter one tackles a conceptual framework of the study. The second section is addressing the concept of energy consumption . The second chapter focuses on analysing thetapped and untapped energy resources in Iraq, where the first section is specified to address the tapped energy, while the second tackles the untapped energy resources in Iraq and possibility of its investment. The last chapter studies the energy determinants and its role in a developmental energy policy, where the first section analyses role of the basic determinants in the energy consumption and the second section laid suggestions for a developmental energy policy in Iraq.
