Reaching energy efficiency in industrial facilities particularly in Iraq is an essential part in addressing the continuous energy crisis since the second Gulf war. In the electricity sector, the gap between nameplate capacity and actual utilizable capacity is huge and is rapidly increasing. Exploring the use of energy efficient practices can be a means to provide a cost-effective means to contribute in solving some of electricity demand problems and high energy costs for the industrial sectors in Iraq. In this paper, energy efficiency approach is used to estimates the energy savings attained from upgrading and enhancing the energy consumption aspects in Haditha hydropower plant-Iraq. The potential energy savings is computed and compared against the current consumption of the compressed air system. To achieve this point, energy audit and assessment is carried out to recommend a potential energy-efficient practice that can be implemented in the plant. The recommended energy-efficient practice has the potential to provide electrical energy saving around 172,323 kWh/yr, and $17,232 in annual cost of electricity, which correspond to a reduction of 64.58% and 35.41%, respectively. The total implementation cost for this proposed application is approximately $5,200. The findings clearly indicate that there is a possibility to have a high electrical energy savings for the tested system, which can enhance the power consumption efficiency in industrial sector and to minimize energy waste in Iraq.
