Solar Power Lights Baghdad’s Streets
Streetlights have begun sprouting solar panels in Baghdad, as the electricity ministry launches an initiative to save power and make streets safer. More than 3,000 solar panels have been affixed to roadside lights in the Iraqi capital already, with an eventual goal of 16,000 and then expanding the network outside the capital, said the electricity ministry.
