Rumaila Combined Cycle Power Plant Project

Phase 1 of the power plant includes the construction of six gas-fired units which run on MGT-70(3) turbines. The initial efficiency of Phase 1 simple cycles stands at 34.6 percent. The figure will reach 36 percent one year after the provisional delivery.

Phase 2 of the project includes construction of three E-type steam cycles, HRSGs (without supplementary firing), ACC cooling system, and BOP (balance of plant).

Phase 3 of the project includes the construction of six gas-fired units running on MGT-70(3) turbines. The initial efficiency of Phase 3 simple cycles stands at 34.6 percent. The figure will reach 36 percent one year after the provisional delivery.

Phase four of the project includes construction of three E-type steam cycles, HRSGs (without supplementary firing), ACC cooling system, and BOP (balance of plant).
