Siemens Energy and the Iraqi Ministry of Electricity have signed a contract for the Al Hamudhia substation, which will provide reliable and efficient power supply to the cities of Ramadi, Fallujah, Saqlawyah, Khalediyah and surrounding areas in Al Anbar governorate, North West of Baghdad.
The turnkey 400 kV substation will support greater grid connectivity and allow for a higher utilization of the Al Anbar power plant's generated power, supporting anticipated energy demand growth of 10% annually.
The new substation will connect up to 750 MVA to the national grid, helping decrease bottlenecks and transmission losses.
Construction of Al Hamudhia station is expected to start in July 2020 and is scheduled for completion in July 2022.
