Turbine contract for power plant being built at Khurmala by KAR Group
Germany’s Siemens has been awarded a $129m contract to supply gas turbines and generators for a new power plant at Khurmala in the north of Iraq.
The contract was awarded by the local KAR Construction & Engineering Company, which is building the plant for Erbil-headquartered KAR Group, according to a 14 September statement from Siemens.
Siemens will supply four SGT5-2000E gas turbines and four SGen5-100A generators.
The Khurmala power plant is located 25-kilometres south of Erbil, the capital of the semi-autonomous Kurdistan Region of Iraq. It will provide 640MW when it is commissioned in 2013. The plant will be operated by KAR Group.
Siemens won a $2.1bn contract in late-2008 to supply 16 gas turbines for Iraq’s Electricity Ministry, with a total capacity of 3,150MW at Rumaila in the southern Basra province, two plants at Taza and Dibis in Kirkuk, and two more plants in Baiji and Sadder in the Baghdad province.
