As part of an expansion plan, 400MW of generation capacity is to be added to the Az Zour combined-cycle facility.

ABB will supply the electrical balance of plant, the distributed control system, field instrumentation and generator transformer.

The scope of the project also includes an extension of the 275kV gas-insulated switchgear substation, medium- and low-voltage equipment and the substation automation system.
