Al-Sudani Launches Work On A Project To Rehabilitate Two Existing Thermal Units And Install Two New Units At la-Dora Power Station
The Prime Minister's Office stated in a statement: "Al-Sudani launched, this Monday morning, the implementation of the project to rehabilitate two existing thermal units with a capacity of 320 megawatts (2 x 160), and to install two new units with a capacity of 320 megawatts (2 x 160) at al-Dora Thermal Power Plant in the capital, Baghdad."
Al-Sudani emphasized the importance of the thermal power plant, given its location in central Baghdad and the use of al-Dora refinery's output, which will be in accordance with environmental specifications and requirements. He noted: "The Ministry of Electricity, through the project to resolve bottlenecks in the transmission and distribution sectors, has maintained the continuity and acceptable rate of electricity supply to citizens."
The Prime Minister stated: "The final solution identified by the government since the first day it assumed office is to secure fuel and achieve energy independence. It continues to work to provide fuel for all power plants. By the end of 2027, there will be self-sufficiency in securing gas for all operating and new plants."
Al-Sudani pointed out that the government has embarked on promising renewable energy (solar energy) projects, and that some projects will be operational within less than a year. He praised the efforts of the Ministry of Electricity and national companies for their exceptional performance and effort in working under these difficult climatic conditions.
The two projects will contribute to strengthening the electrical system on Baghdad-Karkh side by connecting them to the internal grid at 132 kV, which supports the stability of electricity distribution and covers a portion of the increasing local loads. The two existing units will be rehabilitated according to a timetable that ensures the continued operation of the plant and the non-stop production, relying on fuel available from al-Dora refinery. /End
