Unit Six of Rumaila Power Plant Synchronized to the Grid

MAPNA Group has synchronized the sixth gas-fired unit of Rumaila Power Plant to the national grid.
The unit was synchronized to the national grid on 18:17 local time on June 13 2019 by MAPNA Group engineers.
With synchronization of this unit, MAPNA Combined Cycle Power Plants Construction & Development Company (MD-2) has now synchronized 93 unit to the grid with an aggregate capacity of 14,253 MWs.
Rumaila Combined Cycle Power Plant Project
Design, procurement, transportation, installation, commissioning, and supervision of civil construction works was carried out by MAPNA Group. Shamara Holding, client of the project, carried out civil construction operations.
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.
