ABSTRACT

       Over several centuries, the world has witnessed different stages, developments, and major transformations. It has accelerated, grown, and increased in speed and importance recently. After discovering alternatives to energy and electric generation through renewable energy sources, it relied on traditional energy sources, which provided the world with a clean, inexhaustible energy that contributes greatly to achieving the goals and indicators of sustainable development. After the traditional energy sources were the first source and what they left behind from the effects and residues, global warming and the ozone hole accelerated the discovery of non-traditional sources to get rid of the effects and repercussions of using depleted energy (fossil fuels). It is characterized by being available, cheap, and clean in its uses from its multiple sources such as solar energy, wind sources, hydroelectric energy, tides, and others that work to maximize electrical generation to achieve the goals of sustainable development in various countries, including Arab countries, especially Iraq.

Keywords: Traditional energy sources, renewable energy sources, sustainable development, electric power.
