ABB has secured contracts from KAR Construction and Engineering Company Ltd. where in it will design and build a power plant as well as construct two 400/132 kilovolts (kV) high-voltage substations which will supply power to the Kurdistan region of Northern Iraq. The orders are worth around $120 million.
Open cycle power plant with 640 megawatt (MW) will be using natural gas from the Khormala oil field and light fuel oil (LFO) as backup for producing electricity from gas turbines. Two 400/132 kV high-voltage substations will be providing electricity to the Khormala oil field and will help feed the power into Iraq`s regional and national grid.
ABB will be responsible to design, engineer, supply and commission the projects on a turnkey basis and the project is expected to complete by the end of 2013.
