Electrical Engineering Technology and Renewable Energy – Power Branch

📋 About the Department

The Department of Electrical Technologies is one of the main technological departments at Najaf Polytechnic College. It was established with the founding of the educational institution (Technical Institute) in 1978, beginning with the Electrical Installations Branch. As the department’s activities expanded and technical education developed, it came to include two branches: Electrical Installations and Electrical Machines. With the scientific advancements witnessed worldwide in the field of communications, the Communications Branch was established as one of the branches of the Electrical Technologies Department. In 1987, the Electrical Installations and Electrical Machines branches were merged into a single branch, the Electrical Power Branch, which later became the foundation of the Department of Electrical Technologies. In keeping with the rapid technological developments in the field of energy, and the Institute’s commitment to developing its academic and scientific curricula in line with global trends toward clean energy, the Renewable Energy Branch was established in the academic year 2025–2026. Accordingly, the department currently comprises two main branches:
1- Electrical Power Branch
2- Energy Branch
