Phase 1 of the Rumaila Power Plant project includes construction of six gas-fired units which run on MAPNA Group’s indigenous MAP2B turbines.
The initial efficiency of Phase I 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 Rumaila Power Plant project also includes construction of six gas-fired units running on MAPNA Group’s MAP2B 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 4 of the project includes construction of three E-type steam cycles, HRSGs (without supplementary firing), ACC cooling system, and BOP (balance of plant).
Upon completion, the plant will include six 500-MW combined cycle power blocks in Rumaila, in vicinity of Basra, Iraq’s second largest city.
Shamara Holding is the client of the project and MAPNA Combined Cycle Power Plants Construction and Development (MD-2) serves as the contractor.
