The construction of the Mosul station, which was destroyed in 2014, will help ensure stability in the transmission of power supply to the covered areas, coupled with a reduction in power losses. The project will be financed by the German state-owned development bank KfW. 

 

On completion, it will supply approximately 30 stations with voltage levels of 132 kV, thereby helping to tackle the severe shortage of power supply in the Nineveh province.

 

"Strengthening the national grid and scaling up its stability is a focal priority for us as demand for power in Iraq increases due to a growing population and to support industries and development projects in the country," remarked Engineer Khalid Ghazay Attia, Director General, Electricity Transmission Company, Northern Region, Iraq. 

 

"The new Mosul station aims to bring predictable power to support the reconstruction and rebuilding of the Nineveh Governorate, recovering now from years of war. We’re already working on comprehensive grid projects across the country in collaboration with international partners, like Siemens Energy, to deploy the most reliable and advanced technologies," he added.

 

Mahmoud Hanafy, Vice President, Grid Stabilization, Middle East, said Siemens was proud to support the Iraqi national grid with its latest technologies. "The new project comes at a significantly important time for Nineveh province," he noted. 

 

“In addition to this project, we’re working relentlessly on the installation of more than 14 stations across Iraq. Just recently, we delivered 35 high-voltage transformers to the Ministry of Electricity as part of Siemens Energy’s Roadmap for Iraq,” he added.

 

For the West Mosul project, Siemens Energy’s scope of work includes the design, equipment manufacturing, construction, site delivery, erection, testing and commissioning for the turnkey 400/132/11kV substation project together with the supply of 13 auto transformers.
