ERBIL, July 10 (AKnews) – Energy giant GE has signed a contract with Mass Global investment company in the Kurdistan Region to supply two steam turbines in Erbil to increase the efficiency and output of the city's power plant.
The turbines will be used to convert the plant from simple to combined-cycle operation to increase output by 500 megawatts, which will be enough for 100,000 households.
Mass Global chairman told Trade Arabia: “Mass Global continues to be at the forefront of meeting the power requirements of the Kurdistan Iraq region.”
GE Energy’s president Joseph Anis said the agreement reflects GE’s continuing commitment to support energy infrastructure growth in the Kurdistan Region and throughout the country.
The Erbil plant has been in operation since 2008 and has played a crucial role in responding to the growing power demands in the region.
