In the 1999 Iraq took one of the first steps in the region to break-up and decentralize the electrical sector. Although remaining a government monopoly, the sector became autonomous and decentralized by region and function.

As well as the transmission network for 400 kV and 132 kV and the distribution for both 33 kV and 11 kV, is explained as follows:
