Completion in 2013 of the 1,250-MW Al Khairat powerplant, the largest to be built in Iraq, not only will boost electricity output in the war-ravaged nation by 20%, but marks a key social milestone for 5 million citizens who had only intermittent power access.

一份在线新闻报道说，伊拉克至少需要14,000兆瓦才能满足对能源的高需求，但目前的产生不到一半。

随着新工厂的运作，卡尔巴拉地区的七个城市每天至少20个小时获得可靠的动力。根据最近的一项电力技术研究，电力短缺使伊拉克的经济损失高达400亿美元。新利luck

The project, which began in 2011, included installation of 10 gas-turbine generators and continuous emissions monitoring-equipment, along with related infrastructure, such as power substations, a small refinery, and water and wastewater treatment facilities.

The plant is designed to operate using three different types of fuel, based on availability, according to project participants. "This gives flexibility and sustainability in the supply of electricity," says Osman Saim Dinç, general manager of Çalık Enerji.

根据ÇalıkEnerji的说法，在春季，意外的大雨和沙尘暴也给现场活动造成了巨大损失。ÇalıkEnerji'sDinç表示：“最大的挑战之一是提供一个安全的环境，以克服可能来自项目外部或内部的威胁。”

The project team maintained strong relations with local sheikhs and other community leaders, he adds. There were no security incidents, according the project team.

团队提交说，遵守严格的安全规则的记录伤害率仅为0.34，损失的时间伤害频率为0.28。医疗和火灾紧急支持每天24小时提供。

The project, along with work on the smaller Nainawa powerplant in Iraq, was Alstom's largest contract in the country, CEO Patrick Krons said in 2011.

一名官员告诉路透社，GE在Al Khairat的燃气轮机是从该公司购买的56号电力部。

According to its website, Çalık Enerji also completed, last fall, a 750-MW powerplant in Mosul, Iraq, and announced, earlier this year, the start of construction on the 230-MW Gardabani combined-cycle powerplant in the former Soviet Republic of Georgia, which it says is one of the largest energy investments there in recent years.

该公司还宣布了计划在利比亚的Khoms建造542兆瓦的设施，距离黎波里首都约120公里。那里的合同还包括12年的工厂运营和维护。
