The EUR80m ($115.79m) contract includes the supply of GIS substations and power transformers.
According to Alstom, the natural gas/fuel oil power plants are critical to meeting Iraq’s growing demand for energy during the period of reconstruction and rebuilding.
Upon completion, the substations and related equipments supplied by Alstom will transmit power from the Al-Khairat and Nainawa gas-fired plants.
Alstom said the substations will contribute to develop the region by transmitting an additional 2,000MW of new generation capacity through the grid.
Project commissioning is scheduled for June 2012 with a second phase planned in October 2012.
