The present paper aims to analyze the reality of electrical energy services in the city of Kirkuk for the year 2025 by examining a set of key indicators, including electricity consumption, electricity pricing, the level of household access to electric power, the number of power outage hours, and the means used to compensate for shortages in supply. The study results reveal that the demand for electrical energy in the city has been increasing significantly due to rapid and equipment across residential, service, and productive sectors. The findings also show a clear gap between the required and supplied quantities of electricity, especially during the summer season, which witnesses peak consumption as a result of high temperatures and the increased reliance on residential and commercial cooling devices. Furthermore, the study confirms that all households in the city alternative sources such as private generators and solar energy systems. This leads to efficiency and sustainability in electrical energy services within the city.
