Why prices sit where they do

Iraq's catalog spans Baghdad, Erbil and Sulaymaniyah, split between an emerging independent developer and telecom-operator colocation products. Baghdad-based T964 is building Iraq's first purpose-built commercial Tier III facility with Schneider Electric power and cooling gear, targeting 12 MW and 340 racks in its first phase by the end of 2026. Mobile operator Asiacell holds Uptime Institute's first batch of Iraqi Tier III awards across four sites — Baghdad's Airport Modular DC and Digital Campus DC1 (Design), Erbil Data Center 2 (Design and Constructed Facility), and Farmanday MDC2 in Sulaymaniyah (Design) — as it builds a B2B hosting business. ISP Earthlink Telecommunications' Baghdad DC1 carries a Design and Constructed Facility pair. Kurdistan-based Newroz Telecom's JISIR facility in Erbil holds Iraq's only Tier IV Design award. GSL Telecom (Erbil) and LinkData.com (Baghdad) both self-describe as "Tier III" without an independent certificate. Business electricity runs $0.046/kWh (GlobalPetrolPrices, Dec 2025), a subsidized rate that doesn't capture Iraq's chronic grid shortfalls.
