Improve The Performance Of Electricity Power Production By Adopting ISO 50001 In The Iraqi Ministry Of Electricity

Today, energy efficiency issues are becoming more and more important within organizations. The international standard ISO 50001 defines general requirements for the operational and organizational structure for companies. ISO 50001 provides benefits for organizations large and small, in both public and private sectors, in manufacturing and services, in all regions of the world. ISO 50001 will establish a framework for industrial plants; commercial, institutional, and governmental facilities; and entire organizations to manage energy. The main problem that facing the power production in Iraq is the decline in the amount of energy produced because of a set of problems, one of them not- adopting ISO 50001. The main objective of this study is to identify the factors that help the Ministry of Electricity in Iraq to adoption ISO 50001 in the power stations and then analyze these factors to the suggestion adoption ISO 50001 in AL-Dora power station in Iraq. The sample for this research includes the (managers and engineers) who work in AL-Dora power station are 163 (13 Managers and 150 Engineers), who have the decision to adopt ISO 50001 in the power station at the ministry of electricity of Iraq. The data were used for this study that was generated through structured questionnaires with close-ended questions by the survey in Iraqi Ministry of Electricity at AL- Dora power station. Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) was used to test the research hypotheses. This study has been used two methods to check the adoption ISO 50001 first method was through survey and analysis by SPSS software this method used the tools of SPSS software of parametric test like the correlations, mean, standard deviation, regression analysis, histograms and P–P plot. The second method was by conducting experiments at the workplace to prove the validity of the results that have been obtained by the SPSS software. This is the first study of its kind in the Iraqi Ministry of Electricity is studying the effect of application of ISO50001 on improving the efficiency of energy management, reduce costs, quality improvement , environmental performance and economic sustainability in power stations and considered very important and has economic feasibility. Therefore, this study it will help the Iraqi Ministry of Electricity by providing new ideas about the loss of the cost and time due to the loss of productivity. The results of this study to prove the adoption ISO 50001 Leads to an efficiency in energy management, reduce costs, create a sustainable environment in the field of energy production in the ministry of electricity especially in electric power plants in Iraq
