AbstractIn several developing countries, the electricity crisis obstructs both socioeconomic and technological sustainable evolution. Also, it leads to reducing job availability due to shut down several industries or relocate to neighbouring countries to such an issue. A Najaf City is an important holy and tourist city in the middle of Iraq country. Indeed, waste management in An Najaf City needs to be reconsidered to be used as an energy source. In this article, we investigated and listed the waste quantity which produced recently (one year) respect to waste types and types of content. Data collected from the waste products for one year and are used as a key factor to study the feasibility of generating electrical energy from collected MSWs. The proposed model was simulated and tested respect to cost analysis factor of the suggested power plant by Homer pro simulation software. Results were very encouraging and competitive to the current energy production cost based on the production cost of the Kwh prospective among the conventional methods in Iraq. The proposed scenario provide proper and secure waste proposal technique with low-cost.

AbstractIncreasing demands of electric power recently has pushed the
government to find multiple solutions that force the consumer to use
energy an optimal utilization and rationalize it. The main aim of this
paper is to improve customer acceptability of Prepaid Meters and
determine management strategy in promoting prepaid usage. Though, this
solution did not meet the required purpose. In this sense, this paper
focuses on: (a) establishing the culture of concern for public money, (b)
launching of the largest and widest process of rationalization of energy
consumption by the consumer and not by the product only, (c) obtaining
production costs immediately through the use of pre-payment devices.
One of the major findings of this paper is that the rationalization of
energy by 1% of the daily consumption of the citizens, will provide
approximately 4 megawatts for the province
