O&M serves as a short-term source of spare parts and technical support, while also providing for long-term improvement through training in best operational practices and modern management techniques.
Total electrical generation capacity for Iraq's thermal and combustion power infrastructure is more than 11,000 MW. However, it has generally performed in the range of 35 to 50 per cent of rated capacity, due in part to poor operational techniques, an absence of a proper preventive maintenance program, and a lack of funds for spare parts.

The training component of the project, completed earlier this summer, provided for the classroom training of 238 staff-members from all levels of the ministry.
To customize the curriculum, the trainees were broken down into four tiers, including senior management, middle management, plant supervisory personnel and plant technician/operators.
Course concepts ranged from strategic planning down to certification for Instrument Technicians. In addition, a two-week course for developing "train-the-trainer" skills was administered for 83 plant supervisors from across the ministry's 19 power plants. Nineteen sets of training materials, along with supporting IT equipment, were delivered to each power plant to help jumpstart the local level training effort.
