ABSTRACT
In this article, the legal and regulatory concepts for the use of renewable energy in the construction industry are reviewed, relying on some laws in a number of countries, which were taken into account as a model for its application in Iraqi cities. In this article, we have highlighted the problems and prospects for the application of renewable energy in general, including marine energy represented by wave, tidal energy, and its predictability. Also, in this article, we put a brief study on concentrated solar energy and the technology used to generate electricity using energy from solar radiation through the technology known as CSP. In summary, we reviewed the most important challenges that faced renewable energy projects as a result of the outbreak of the Corona virus, Covid-19, the health crisis that led to hundreds of victims among the cadres working in this field, and thus the energy sectors were directly affected as a result of the tightening of preventive measures and the budgets of many countries.
