New Power Plant Boosts Baghdad Electricity Grid
Posted on: Friday, 1 July 2005, 09:01 CDT
Fifty Iraqi laborers and an equal number of foreign General Electric employees, supported by the 1st Armored Division and the Army Corps of Engineers, recently completed eight months of work on a power plant project which will bring additional electricity to Baghdad.
The project at the Qudas Power Plant outside Baghdad added 90 megawatts of electricity to the Baghdad power grid. The added electricity means that Iraqi citizens in Baghdad will have the power needed to provide essential services and air-conditioning when temperatures increase this summer, and will help bolster the Iraqi economy.
The power plant is just one of the facilities being refurbished in Iraq under Purchasing Contract Office programs.
