ABB has received an order to supply and install substations at a 3,000 MW Rumaila power plant in the Basra region of southern Iraq. The completed power plant will be operated by Shamara Holding Group (SHG) and independent power plant, one of Iraq's largest private industrial group. Rumaila power plant is expected to increase power generation capacity by about 20%, to solve a serious shortage of electricity, hindering the country's economic growth. The order is booked in the second quarter of 2017.

The 3,000 MW from the Rumaila power plant will add to Iraq’s current generation of 13,000 MW, which is short of the country’s peak load demand of about 23,000 MW. Iraq balances its high power demand and low supply capacity through load shedding, which means power is only available to its 34 million citizens for about 15 hours each day. The addition of new generating plants will increase electricity supply, and support economic growth.

ABB will design, engineer, supply and install the 400 kilovolt (kV) air insulated switchgear (AIS) substation, which will be equipped with technology and instrument transformers from ABB. The substation will also be equipped with advanced digital control, protection and telecommunication systems.

"Our advanced substation solution will bring much-needed power to the region by expanding capacity and strengthening the Iraqi power infrastructure," said Claudio Facchin, president of ABB's power division. "This project has increased We have a wide range of installation bases in the region and support our next-level strategic focus on growth markets.
