Najybia Power Plant Project was successfully completed by ENKA, achieving 1.0 million manhours without a lost time incident.
The project, located near Basrah, is part of a master plan developed and implemented by Republic of Iraq’s Ministry of Electricity to increase the power generation capacity to meet the rapid growth of demand in the country after 25 years of war and lack of investment. The Najybia 4×125 MW Gas Turbine Power Plant Contract, one of the “Mega Deal… Projects”, was signed in January 2012 with the Ministry of Electricity of Iraq.
The Project consisted of engineering, procurement, construction, commissioning and start-up of a 4×125 MW Power Generation Plant to operate in simple cycle mode of operation with three type of fuel, Heavy Fuel Oil (HFO), Natural Gas and Light Distillate Oil (LDO), complete with all Balance of Plant (BoP) systems to support safe and efficient operation of Combustion Turbine Generator (CTG) units. Plant has an overall storage capability of 5 days for both liquid fuels (HFO & LDO).
ENKA further provided training for the Operation and Maintenance (O&M) personnel who will be operating and maintaining the plant.
