The sixth gas-fired unit of Rumaila Power Plant synchronized to the national grid on June 13 2019.
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.
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.
Design, procurement, transportation, installation, commissioning, and supervision of civil construction works in 4 phases was carried out by MAPNA Group. Shamara Holding, client of the project, carried out civil construction operations (except ACC cooling system and Bioler)
