GE-Led Consortium Wins 750MW Mansuriya Power Contract
By John Lee.
GE Verona, in consortium with GE Global, General Electric Global Services, Ontex Trading, and Calik Enerji, has been awarded the contract for the expansion of the Mansuriya gas power plant.
The project involves adding two gas turbines and a combined-cycle system, with a total capacity of 750 megawatts (MW).
The Iraqi Cabinet approved the contract on the condition that GE: Fixes the total contract value;
Ensures operation of the plant using gas from the Khasham al-Ahmar [Khashim Ahmer-Injana] field at no additional cost;
Commits to covering the cost of the environmental impact assessment.
The expansion is part of the government's strategy to develop Iraq's electricity generation sector and increase reliance on domestic gas sources.
The Khasham Al-Ahmar field in Diyala was awarded to UAE-based Crescent Petroleum, as part of Iraq's fifth licensing round.
