The project involves the rehabilitation of six 169 MW Siemens gas turbines. The project also includes development of seven 400 kV transmission lines and a new 132 kV network to serve Salah al-Din Province. The first two units are scheduled to become operational within 27 months, with the remaining units being commissioned at a rate of one every two months thereafter.
The Iraqi Ministry of Electricity signed an agreement with Siemens Energy in May 2025 to develop 14 GW of new gas-fired generation capacity in Iraq, and to renovate and upgrade the 340 MW Dibis power plant and the Al-Musayyib power plant involving rehabilitation of the existing 750 MW and the addition of 150 MW.
