UGTR and Sun Africa describe solar feasibility work with KAR

A July executive interview identifies developer-funded studies and a Baghdad office, rather than a completed investment decision.

Adam Cortese, CEO of Sun Africa and UGTR Renewables, told Shafaq News on 17 July that technical, legal and financial studies were underway under a memorandum and strategic partnership with KAR Group.

He said the US companies were funding preliminary assessments to support an Iraqi government decision on a commercial agreement.

The interview establishes the executive’s account of preparatory work. It does not establish financial close, a construction start or a commissioned plant. Earlier capacity announcements are not treated here as the verified scope of this initiative.
