The Ministry of Electricity (MoE; Arabic: وزارة الكهرباء) is the Iraqi federal government ministry concerned with the production, transmission, and distribution of electrical energy in the country.

The operational functions (power generation, transmission, load dispatch and distribution) are no longer autonomous corporatized entities, but were reorganized into 18 geographically based directorates within MoE.

That resignation by then-Minister Majed Hantoosh coincided with widespread blackouts which took place during soaring temperatures exceeding 50 °C (122 °F), caused in part by Iran having cut energy supplies to the country.

Hantoosh resigned a day prior to the Iranian cutback announcement.

Some experts estimate that Iraq loses 30 to 50 percent of its electrical supply to outdated circuits.
