TEHRAN -- Iran starts the executive operation of Iraq’s Al Sadr power plant.

Iranian contractors (Sanir and Ameran Ofoq companies) won the tender for constructing a gas-fed power plant with 315MW capacity in Iraq’s Al Sadr city, amid fierce competition from China and Europe, IRNA reported.
Iran’s MAPNA Company is also responsible for providing the plant’s equipment including two gas-fed generator turbines (with total capacity of 315MW), transformers and spare parts.
The turn-key project will be in the form of Engineering Procurement Construction (EPC) and will be done by Sanir and Ameran Ofoq companies.
The project will be implemented in two years. The first unit will be completed 22 months after the land is given to the Iranian contractors and the other unit two month later.
Sanir and Ameran Ofoq companies should also provide a 132KW post and 60 apartment units in the plant’s area.
The project’s letter of credit (L/C) has been opened and soon after the Iraqi side provides the land, the local executive operation will start
