Deralok Dam, Gravity dam under construction in Dohuk Governorate, Iraq.
The Deralok Dam rises 30 meters high and stretches 119 meters across the Great Zab River in the Kurdistan region of northern Iraq.
Construction of the Deralok Dam began in October 2016 following a formal signing ceremony in December 2013 with Iranian companies Boland Payeh and Farab.
The dam represents the Kurdistan Regional Government's first hydropower project, marking a shift toward regional energy independence and infrastructure development.
Two Kaplan-type turbines within the dam will generate 37.6 MW of hydroelectric power, supplying electricity to the towns of Amadiya and Badinan.
The Japan International Cooperation Agency provides financial oversight for this $168 million project, which includes a 132 kV transmission line and substation.
