Deralok Dam, Gravity dam under construction in Dohuk Governorate, Iraq.
Deralok Dam is a gravity dam across the Great Zab River in northern Iraq currently under construction. The structure will harness flowing water with turbines to generate electricity for nearby communities.
The project was signed in December 2013 between regional authorities and Iranian firms, with construction starting in October 2016. International involvement in the project reflects regional cooperation on water and energy resources.
The project reflects the Kurdistan Regional Government's commitment to energy self-sufficiency and local development. It represents a shift toward renewable power sources in the region.
The dam is located near the towns of Amadiya and Badinan, which will receive the generated power. A transmission line and substation connect the site to the local electrical grid for broader distribution.
The Japan International Cooperation Agency provided financial oversight for the entire project. This demonstrates how international partnerships support renewable energy development in remote mountainous regions.
