1. Background/Objective of the Project
For the people in Iraq, the Iraqi government at its maximum effort has been rehabilitating, building
and upgrading the infrastructures which were destructed or exhausted in the periods of the wars and
economic sanction since such periods ended. The power sector is one of those infrastructures which
are essential for the life of Iraqi people and is needed to be improved immediately.
As for the electricity situation, it is estimated that the power demand will be reached 30,000MW in
2020 from 20,000MW in 2015.
As one of solutions to enhance the power supply, the Ministry of Electricity, Iraq (“MOE”) plans to
convert the existing simple cycle gas turbine (“SCGT”) power stations to the combined cycle gas
turbine (“CCGT”) power stations, which is called the Add-On project (“Add-On Project”). Based on
this, in May 2015, MOE’s expectation for the feasibility study for the Add-On Project was shown.
In this study, one site was selected for Add-On Project with the consideration of suitability and
priority of three (3) candidate sites (i.e. Amara, Nasiriyah and Najibiyah) through the meeting. And
the feasibility study of Add-On Project for selected gas turbine power station was carried out.
2. Financial Situation in Iraq
Iraqi Government has currently faced financial stringency because of the less national budget due to
the slump of crude oil price and the increase of costs/expenses for cleaning operation by Iraqi army
against terrorism (called by themselves as Islamic State for Iraq and Syria “ISIS”).
The World Bank and the International Monetary Fund (“IMF”) decided to provide Iraq with
financial supports. However, those financial supports are not enough and each ministry in the Iraqi
Government has to find out appropriate solutions to cover such situation.

3. Outline of Add-On Project
Basic Concept:
The principle of the combined-cycle is firstly to recover the exhausted gas and generate the
steam by the heat recovery steam generator (“HRSG”) and secondly to combine the steam and
generate the electricity by the steam turbine generator (“STG”). After completing the gas turbine
cycle (simple cycle), the temperature of the exhausted gas from the gas turbine which is wasted
in the simple cycle is still high enough to generate the steam. By recycling this exhausted gas,
the overall net efficiency of the combined-cycle may achieve at more than 50% from the
simple-cycle at around 35%-40%. This recycling of the waste entropy can expand the power
S-3
capacity without increasing the fuel consumption and the environmental load. Especially, to add
the HRSG and STG on the existing/operating simple-cycle power plant is called “Add-On” also
known as repowering or bottoming.
Site Selection:
The study has initially considered three (3) potential sites where the gas turbines are already
installed or planned to be installed in simple cycle and one of them could be converted to a
combined cycle plant.
Three sites proposed by MOE of Add-On

Site Amara Nasiriyah Najibiyah
Governorate Missan Thi Qar Basrah
Gas Turbines number 4 units x 125 MW 4 units x 125 MW 4 units x 125 MW
Simple Cycle PS In operation Planned, Not started In operation
Note: All three (3) sites utilize four (4) gas turbines of General Electric (“GE”) make, Frame 9 E type
or plan to install.
S-4
Location of Candidate Gas Turbine Power Station
Amara
Basrah
Nasiriyah
Najibiyah
The power stations at Amara and Najibiyah have been completed and the gas turbines in simple cycle
mode are in commercial operation. At Nasiriyah site, the gas turbines have not been yet installed
however the EPC contractor has been selected and the installation works are expected to commence in
early 2016 and be completed in 25 months from thereafter.
The site of Najibiyah has been ruled out for Add-On because there is no extra land available for
accommodating the equipment needed for the conversion into combined cycle. As the sites of
Nasiriyah and Amara have adequate extra land and they have been compared. The site of Nasiriyah
has been selected for this study because of the vicinity of the river water (Euphrates) which ensures
availability of the water to the power station, in the required quantity and with lower pumping costs.

Plant Configuration:
- Site : Nasiriyah area in Thi Qar Governorate
- Capacity : 500MW (4 x 125MW, to be installed) + 250MW (by this project)
- Main Fuel : Natural Gas (will be available in 2018)
Nasiriyah site will have four (4) GTGs of about 125 MW ISO rating, this report describes feasibility
study of the 4/4/1x1 configuration with the consent of MOE in consideration with the EPC cost and
the combined cycle efficiency.

4. Implementation Schedule
The implementation of the Add-On Project is envisaged to start once the simple cycle gas turbine
power station is completed, as follows. The Project Implementation Time Schedule (Base) is
attached.
 Simple cycle gas turbine power station poject starts in early 2016, lasts 25 months and end in first
quarter of 2018
 The Add-On Project will start at 2nd quarter of 2018 and last 33 months therefore will be
completed by end of 2020
As alternative, upon MOE’s request, another implementation schedule has been studied in order to
anticipate the Add-On Project early completion. The Project Implementation Time Schedule
(Alternative) is attached.
 The concept is to start some engineering and procurement activities of the Add-On Project 3
months ahead of the simple cycle gas turbine power station completion.

Technology Advantages of Japanese Companies
The main purpose of the Add-On project is to increase the output comparing with simple cycle and
to achieve the higher efficiency to reduce the fuel consumption. In this regards, Japanese leading
equipment companies have many experiences to optimize the steam cycle in accordance with
specific condition such as in Iraq and to develop the equipment model. Moreover, the utilization of
steam exhaust from existing Gas Turbine efficiently is one of the important parts of which many
Japanese leading equipment companies including companies who do not manufacture Gas Turbine
have accumulated their technology for a long time. Therefore, Japanese leading equipment
companies are expected to contribute a lot toward optimization of model and cycle like this project.
5. Conclusion
The electricity demand in Iraq has been rapidly increasing however the electricity supply has not met
such demand. Considering the situation in Iraq and current circumstances around MOE, it is
understood that the Add-On project for Nasiriyah Gas Turbine Power Station is very appropriate
solution because this is the project which is possible to realize and materialize under the current
situation and circumstances in Iraq. Furthermore, consideration of utilization of JBIC buyer’s credit
scheme + EPC is expected because the construction cost as EPC basis can be economical than IPP
basis.

1-2. Electricity Supply and Demand:

The actual generation output at the end of 2013 was around 11,000MW against the demand
16,000MW. In 2013, the electricity supply form the national grid to Iraqi people was around 16
hours per day.
And, it was increased up to around 12,000MW in 2014, however it is expected that the demand in
2018 will be over 20,000MW.
1-3. Power Stations:

The design capacity of the power station in the whole county in 2013 was around 22,000MW which
are steam (6,000MW), gas (11,700MW), Hydro (1,800MW) and Diesel (2,400MW). According to
MOE’s explanation in the Iraqi Power Conference in London in June 2014, it is expected to add
17,000MW until 2018 by followings and accordingly the total design capacity will be around
1-2
39,000MW in 2018.
 Under Construction : 12,000MW
 Add On (combined) : 5,000MW
1-4. Transmission Capacity:

The transmission network in Iraq is made by 400kV line called “super grid” and 132kV line
connected to 33/11kV distribution network. The table 1-1 shows the transmission capacity in 2013
and the plan to be added.

2. Current Circumstances MOE has faced
2-1. Lack of Budget

The national budget of Iraq heavily relies on the amount and its price of exporting of crude oil
because around 90% of national revenue is come from the revenue of exporting of crude oil. The
Table 1-2 shows the national budget of Iraq and the planed oil price/export volume.

1-3
Due to trend of decreasing of oil price recently, the amount of national budget is very much
negatively affected and the allocation of yearly budget to ministries for reconstruction and
development projects has been decreased accordingly. As reference, the oil price as of January 2016
is around USD30 BPD.
2-2. Unstable Security Situation

In June 2014, Iraq was attacked by terrorism (called by themselves as Islamic State for Iraq and
Syria “ISIS”) and some cities in northwestern area of Iraq were occupied and controlled by them.
Iraqi army has been conducting cleaning operations against ISIS continuously and succeeded to push
them back in some areas, however threat and attacks by ISIS have been continuing unfortunately.
Because of those situations, Iraqi Government is obliged to spend huge amount to sweep ISIS, and
the budget for rehabilitation, reconstruction and development projects in the country was very much
decreased, which also makes further delay of necessary planned reconstruction projects in current
and future. The Figure 1-2 shows the control of terrain in Iraq as of November 2015.

2-3. Financial Situation in Iraq
As mentioned above, Iraqi Government has suffered two kinds of negative impact and has been
facing the situation of financial stringency at the moment. Therefore, in order to cover the negative
financial situation, the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund (“IMF”) decided to provide
the country with financial supports. However those financial supports are not enough and each
ministry is in the situation that ministry cannot implement by Iraqi national budget and they have to
find out suitable solutions such as utilizing foreign finance arranged by foreign institutes on their
reconstruction and development projects to be proceeded with the implementation of the necessary
projects.
3. Gas Turbine Power Stations in South of Iraq

3.1 Background and Objective
For the people in Iraq, the Iraqi government at its maximum effort has been rehabilitating, building
and upgrading the infrastructures which were destructed or exhausted in the periods of the wars and
economic sanction since such periods ended. The power sector is one of those infrastructures which
are essential for the life of Iraqi people and is needed to be improved immediately.
The Ministry of Electricity, Iraq (“MOE”) has been executing a lot of projects which rehabilitate
and newly install the power stations, substations, transmission lines, distribution lines and other
necessary projects to increase the power supply resources and provide enough electricity for all
through the country.
As one of solutions to enhance the power supply, MOE plans to convert the existing simple cycle
gas turbine (“SCGT”) power stations to the combined cycle gas turbine (“CCGT”) power stations.
The principle of the combined-cycle is firstly to recover the exhausted gas and generate the steam
by the heat recovery steam generator (“HRSG”) and secondly to combine the steam and generate
the electricity by the steam turbine generator (“STG”). After completing the gas turbine cycle
(simple cycle), the temperature of the exhausted gas from the gas turbine which is wasted in the
simple cycle is still high enough to generate the steam. By recycling this exhausted gas, the overall
net efficiency of the combined-cycle may achieve at more than 50% from the simple-cycle at
around 35%-40%. This recycling of the waste enthalpy can expand the power capacity without
increasing the fuel consumption and the environmental load. Especially, to add the HRSG and STG
on the existing/operating simple-cycle power station is called “Add-On” also known as repowering
or bottoming.
MOE has purchased total 72 units equal to 10,442MW of gas turbines from General Electric
(“GE”) and Siemens that is called the Mega Deal. More than 90% of the Mega Deal gas turbines
have been already installed as the simple cycle power stations by the end of 2015.
Based on the conceptual plan of the combined cycle conversion mentioned above, MOE has been
discussing with the IPP developers to realize the projects. However, it is assumed that the total cost
in IPP paid by MOE as tariff should exceed the total cost in investing by MOE’s own for EPC even
though MOE would utilize the foreign finance on the projects. Therefore it is highly recommended
to MOE that MOE would consider the EPC to be financed by foreign institutes (“EPC+Finance”)
besides the IPP as alternative. As the recommendation of the EPC+Finance, in May 2015, MOE’s
expectation for the feasibility study for the Add-On project (“Add-On Project”) was shown.
3-2
MOE had provisionally shortlisted three (3) sites in the south region of Iraq where SCGT power
stations either exists or are planned, out of which one of the most suitable sites to be converted to a
CCGT power station. Among three (3) candidate sites, Nasiriyah (Thi Qar Governorate) has been
selected by the discussion with MOE for this feasibility study.

Under this Add-On Project, individual HRSG will be installed behind each of the existing gas
turbines. The exhaust from each gas turbine will be led to the HRSG via individual diverter damper
installed in by pass stack. The proposed arrangement will allow simple cycle as well as combined
cycle operation of the plant. The diverter dampers along with the guillotine dampers for all four (4)
gas turbines shall be installed for safe maintenance of the HRSG while the gas turbine is operating in
simple cycle mode. The HRSG will be of horizontal design employing natural circulated evaporator
sections. The HRSG comprises of HP and LP drums together with respective economisers,
evaporators and super- heaters.

Steam from the four (4) HRSGs will be connected to one (1) number HP/LP steam turbine having
down flow exhaust arrangement exhausting the steam into a water cooled condenser (“WCC”), thus
constituting an Add-On Block of 4-4-1 configuration.
Generator of steam turbine will be connected to a dedicated step-up transformer for power
evacuation at 400kV level using existing 400kV GIS.
3.2 Contents and Technical feasibility

3.2.1 Site Selection
The study has initially considered three (3) potential sites where the gas turbines are already installed
or planned to be installed in simple cycle and one of them could be converted to a combined cycle
plant:
Table-1: Three sites proposed by MOE of Add-On

Governorate Missan Thi Qar Basrah
Gas Turbines number 4 units x 125 MW 4 units x 125 MW 4 units x 125 MW
Simple Cycle PS In operation Planned, Not started In operation
All three (3) sites utilize four (4) gas turbines of GE make, Frame 9 E type or plan to install.
The power stations at Amara and Najibiyah have been completed and the gas turbines in simple cycle
mode are in commercial operation. At Nasiriyah site, the gas turbines have not been yet installed
however the EPC contractor has been selected and the installation works are expected to commence
in early 2016 and be completed in 25 months from thereafter.
The site of Najibiyah has been ruled out for Add-On because there is no extra land available for
accommodating the equipment needed for the conversion into combined cycle. The sites of Nasiriyah
and Amara have adequate extra land and they have been compared with following terms:

The site of Nasiriyah has been selected because of the vicinity of the river water (Euphrates) which
ensures availability of the water to the Power Station, in the required quantity and with lower
pumping costs.
Furthermore the time schedule expected for the implementation of the SCGT power stations in
Nasiriyah site (25 months) allows to put in place all necessary arrangements, such like financing,
proposal and signing of the EPC contract, for starting the Add-On project in timely and smooth
manner. So the Power Station can be phased in 2 consecutive steps: the simple cycle and then its
conversion to combined cycle.
3.2.2 Existing Facilities

Currently the simple cycle power station at Nasiriyah has not been installed yet however four (4) gas
turbines have been already purchased and kept in the warehouse. The EPC contractor for installing
four (4) gas turbines and generators in simple cycle and providing the associated auxiliary systems
has been selected. The EPC works are expected to start in the early months of 2016 and last for a
period of 25 months.
The SCGT Power Station is designed with four (4) GE gas turbines and generators Frame 9E (MS
9001EA), outdoor installation type, having Non Dry Low Nox (“Non-DLN”) combustors with
capabilities to fire crude oil as main fuel, light distillate oil and natural gas as back-up. The natural
3-6
gas, although currently not available, is planned by the Ministry of Oil, Iraq (“MOO”) to be brought
at site at beginning of year 2018.
The SCGT power station will also have common and auxiliary systems as briefly described here
below:
Fuel facilities include an unloading station for light diesel oil, storage tanks and fuel forwarding
system for both crude oil & light diesel oil. Fuel gas station is also envisaged with all necessary
equipment for conditioning of gas before firing in the gas turbine combustors.
Raw water to the plant is supplied from the Euphrates River. Water treatment and storage facilities
include: pre-treatment of the river water with clarification and sludge removal. Reverse osmosis and
EDI type water treatment plant for demineralized water supply for SCGT consumers and water
injection in gas turbine combustors. Service water, fire water and potable water system also
envisaged for plant usage. Effluents treatment and sewage treatment are installed for treatment of
waste water and plant sewage respectively.
Other mechanical systems considered are compressed air, firefighting system and auxiliary boiler.
Electrical power evacuation is by means of four (4) step-up transformers one each for each gas
turbine, 400 kV and 132 kV gas insulated switchgears (“GIS”) located indoors. Electrical power
distribution has unit auxiliary transformers (“UAT”), MV power distribution system, LV power
distribution system, emergency power supply system and emergency diesel generator.
Gas turbines are installed outdoor having their own compartments/enclosures. The SCGT power
station includes central electrical and control building, GIS buildings, administration building, fire
station, canteen, warehouse, bachelor house and workshop building.
3.2.3 Combined Cycle Configuration

The conversion of a SCGT power station to a CCGT power station is realized by adding the HRSG
that utilizes the heat of the exhaust gases for generating steam which is utilized in operating a steam
turbine and generator to generate electricity.
The steam from each HRSG can be connected to four sets of smaller sized steam turbines or the
steam output from each of the four HRSGs can be combined together to supply the steam to a
common piping header which then feeds one larger sized steam turbine. The way the GTG/HRSG
3-7
units are grouped in order to supply steam to the steam turbine and the number of steam turbine
determine the configuration of the combined cycle.
In consideration with the following advantages, the 4/4/1x1 configuration mentioned below will be
more recommendable in this feasibility study than the 2/2/1x2 configuration mentioned below.
Advantages of the 4/4/1 configuration:
· The bigger capacity STG unit has better efficiency than 2 STG of smaller capacity for the
same steam parameters.
· Lower capital costs due to saving on the cost of the steam turbine and generator, their
foundation and STG building, step up transformer, electrical power distribution equipment’s
and cabling.
· Suitable for base load
· The plot area requirement is less (the available site area in Nasiriyah is limited).
· Reduced construction area during the construction at site.
4/4/1x1 configuration: 1 block comprising of four (4) gas turbines, four (4) heat recovery
steam generators and one (1) steam turbine generator.
2/2/1x2 configuration: 2 blocks each comprising of two ( 2) gas turbines, two (2) heat recovery
steam generators and one (1) steam turbine generator
As Nasiriyah site will have four (4) GTGs of about 125 MW ISO rating, this report describes
feasibility study of the 4/4/1x1 configuration with the consent of MOE.

3.2.4 Design Basis for the Add-On Project
The design conditions utilised for the Add-On project have been considered as follows:
3.2.4.1 Fuel
Main fuel considered for Add-On project is natural gas while crude oil and light fuel oil are back up
fuels.
This is because the fuel gas is expected to be available at Nasiriyah site in early 2018 and the cost of
the natural gas is expected to be lower than crude oil and light fuel oil. Further as per information
from MOE, the fuel gas is envisaged to be used as main fuel after 2018. Thus the Add-On project will
be starting the commissioning and the commercial operation with fuel gas.

3. Power System Development Plan

Power System Simulation for Engineering (“PSS/E”) data of the 2020 Iraq’s Power System
condition was provided from MOE along with Generation development plan and 132kV substation
4-2
development plan. As from the unstableness of the Country, MOE was not able to provide a reliable
and detailed power system network of PSS/E data of the current 2015 condition. Depending of the
circumstances and from the MOE provided data, the condition of the Power System including that
of 2015, will be organize in this section.
3.1 Areas and Governorates in Iraq

Iraq is divided into 5 areas and 15 governorates (excluding the Kurdistan Region) as shown in
Table 3-1.

3.2 Power Network System in 2015

The PSS/E data of the 2020 Power System provided by MOE had some comment written of the
actual situation. The study team assumed the power system network of 2015 based on this comment.
The power system network in 2015 is shown Figure 3-1.
The power system network of Iraq in 2015 has 30 substations and the total length of 400kV
transmission lines approximately 4,900km.
3.3 Expansion of power system network

3.4 Demand and supply balance in 2020
By analyzing the network data of PSS/E provided by MOE the areal demand and supply balance
has been considered to be as shown in Table 3-2.
The total demand in 2020 is 28,541MW including transmission loss and station service power.
Middle area, of which the capital city is Baghdad, accounts for 35% of total demand, and Southern
area, which has the second largest city of the Country, Basra, accounts for 26%. Hence, Middle and
Southern areas account for about 60% of total demand.
Meanwhile, Middle and South areas have 31% and 25 % of total power generation over the country
29,037MW, respectively. Accordingly, the power is not transmitted between areas. The loss of
power system network on this demand and power generation situation is small.

3.5 Network system in 2020
The 400kV network has performed at the bulk power transmission system among areas and 132kV
network has played the role of local supply systems.
Figure 3-4 shows 400kV bulk power network as of 2020. 400kV transmission line are particularly
enhanced in the north-south direction. Mosul, Baghdad and Basra city is in this straight line.
The Iraqi power system has been interconnected with Iranian power system by a 400kV single
circuit transmission line at Diyala substation located in Upper Euphrates area.
3.6 Transmission line

Table 3-3 shows the 400kV transmission lines in 2020. The total length of 400kV transmission lines
reaches approximately 8,300km. This length is about two times of that of 2015.
The transmission line capacity of 400kV lines has 970MVA, 1000MVA and 2774MVA. According
to the PSS/E data, capacity of 2774MVA line is using a quad conductor. This quad conductor of

3.8 Power Plant
The power plant development plan in Iraq prepared by MOE is shown in Table 3-5 and 3-6. The
study team made location map of the power plant development plan as shown in Figure 3-5 and
Figure 3-6. The total amount of the two plans is approximately 30,000MW of generator capacity.
The current demand planning is about 29,000MW in 2020, it was found to be sufficiently supplying
the demand with the new power plant and the existing power plant.
Construction or reinforcement of the power plant have been conducted mainly in Middle Euphrates
and Southern region.

4. Power system analysis
4.1 Allowable Voltage Variation
The power flow analysis was carried out under the conditions described above. The allowable
voltage variation of power system is shown in table 4-1 below.
Table 4-1 Allowable Voltage Variation
Bus bar standard voltage Normal operation condition
400 kV ±5% (380kV – 420kV)
132 kV ±5% (125kV – 138kV)

(Source: MOE)
4.2 Checking the PSS/E data

PSS/E data provided by the MOE contains the 400kV and 132kV power system in 2020. This data
has been modified of the containing part apparently incorrect of the data in 132kV network to have
consistency explainable. The modified part of the data is as follows;
 to set the same transformer tap value in the proper range
 to add the transmission line, if it was overloaded over 150%
 to add the transformer, if it was overloaded over 150%
4.3 Power system analysis in Peak load

Figure 4-1 and Figure 4-2 shows power flow analysis results calculated based upon PSS/E network
data as of the year 2020 which was provided by MOE.
Figure 4-1 shows power system voltage profile in 400kV. The substation bus voltage in 400kV was
put in prescribed value by adjusting the generator terminal voltage, transformer tap value and
amount of the static condensers. But, same substation bus voltage in 132 kV was outrange of
prescribed value.
Figure 4-2 shows power flow in 400kV. All the substation and transmission line are no overloaded.

4.4 Power system analysis in Off-peak Load
The power system in 2020 for 400kV system had no problem with voltage profile and power flow.
However low level of power flow will be a tendency to increase the substation bus voltage. For this
reason, the Study Team have conducted a power system analysis at off-peak. The off-peak load
level was assumed to be 40% of the peak load.
Figure 4-3 and Figure 4-4 shows power flow analysis results. The substation bus voltage in 400kV
was in the range of the prescribed value by adjusting generator terminal voltage, transformer tap
value and amount of shunt reactors. All the substations and transmission lines are not overloaded.
4.5 Fault current analysis

Figure 4-5 shows the fault current analysis results which from assuming that all the generators are
operated and connected to the grid. The allowable fault current of power system is shown in table
4-2 below. The maximum fault current in each area is as follows;
 Mosul in North area: 22.6kA
 Baiji Thermal in Upper Euphrates area: 33.2kA
 Bagdad South in Middle area: 54.0kA
 Musayab Thermal in Middle Euphrates area: 40.5kA
 Muthanna in South area: 37.0kA
Since there are many power plants and substations, relatively large fault currents are observed in
Middle area and Middle Euphrates areas. But, Bagdad South substation connected to the same
transmission line is exceeding 50kA. Therefore, it should be limited of the number of connected
power generators around Bagdad South substation.

6. Conclusion
It is concluded that the generator installation under the project scope is appropriately planned as in
detail described as follows;
 Iraq's electricity demand has been increasing year by year. Therefore, construction
of power plant is required.
 Expansion of the transmission lines and substations have been made sufficiently in
the planning of 2020. Therefore, it is possible to transport the power from the built
power plants.
 It is necessary to note short-circuit current. While it can be reduced by switching the
operating state or the generators.
 Installation of the project generator does not overload transmission lines and
transformers.
 Short-circuit current is slightly increased by the installation of the project generator.
 The project generator contributes to the supply of the power demand.

2. Natural Gas
2.1 Natural Gas Reserves
Iraq has 126.7 trillion cubic feet (Tcf) of proven natural gas reserves which is 12th largest
in the world. Iraq has 10 natural gas fields (non-associated) but about 70 percent of Iraq's
natural gas reserves is associated natural gas.
2.2 Natural Gas Production, processing plants and Domestic Demand (million standard cu m)
Table 5-7 shows Iraqi gas production related data from year 2010 to year 2014.

The marketed production (i.e. Domestic Demand) for natural gas is mainly for power stations,
petrochemical industries, and household use. The demand for natural gas for power stations has
been increased corresponding with the progress of construction and rehabilitation works.
2.3 Gas Transportation Facilities

There are national gas pipelines in total 1,775km in Iraq operated by national companies
under MOO. The gas pipeline system was built in the 1980s, extending from Basrah in the
south up to Mosul in the north of Iraq and connecting with power stations and major
industrial area along the way. However, much of Iraq’s gas transportation facility is
unusable due to the delay of reconstruction and damages caused by civil unrest, or can
only operate well below its design capacity. The figure 5-2 shows the dry gas pipeline map.

*Note: As Nasiriyah Power Station is not yet constructed, the above information of Nasiriyah is
current MOE’s plan.
Iraq has huge oil and gas resources in the country, however both of development of oil and gas field
and reconstruction of transportation network such as pipelines and tanks have been delayed.
Because of this, the fuel to the power stations is delivered by dozens of trucks every day.
4. Access of Water Resource
Nasiriyah Gas Turbine Power station is located along the Euphrates River which is the one of
biggest water resources in the country and available through all year as shown in the figure 5-3
below. It is sure that the location of Nasiriyah Gas Turbine Power Station is satisfied considering
the access of water resource for the Add-On project. As the water quality of the Euphrates River is
not good, the water treatment facilities in the power station are mandatory.
5-9

Information of Euphrates River:
The source of the Euphrates River is mountain area of northeast of Turkey. It runs through Syria
and Iraq and finally flows into the Arabian Gulf together with Tigris River as Shatt Al Arab River
as shown in the figure 5-4.
The basic information of the Euphrates River is mentioned below.
- Source location : Murat Su, Turkey

- Source elevation : 4,500 m
- Length : 2,780 km
- Average flow : 818 m3/s
- Basin : 765,831 km2
5-10
Figure 5-4 / Map of Euphrates River
5. Conclusion
Iraq is the one of the countries who has rich natural resources such as crude oil and natural gas. In
terms of availability of fuel to the power station, there is no doubt. However, due to the delay of
reconstruction and/or damages might be caused by civil unrest, the transportation network namely
pipeline for fuel oil and fuel gas to power station is not enough and they are under the responsibility
of MOO. To cover this point, MOE has been arranging necessary amount of fuel oil by truck
transportation to each power station for stable operation of power station.
In addition to the above, according to MOE study team, as feeding fuel gas to Nasiriyah Gas
Turbine Power Station via gas pipeline is planned to be ready in 2018, Nasiriyah Gas Turbine
Power Station is expected to have stable operation by natural gas in 2018.
The Add-On Project itself does not require additional fuel, however in order to recover exhausted
gas from the gas turbine, the above mentioned stable operation is necessary.
5-11
As for the water availability for Nasiriyah Gas Turbine Power Station for combined cycle power
station, their location is one of the best in the country to access the reliable water resource (i.e.
Euphrates River). Therefore, it also expected that necessary volume of water is available as
required.

(this study)
According to MOE Study Team in this feasibility study, the environment and social feasibility
covering the area of Nasiriyah Gas Turbine Power Station (500MW) was studied during the
Preparatory Study for Development of Southern Large Scale Thermal Power Plant in Republic of
Iraq (2011-2012). The public consultation (stakeholder’s meeting) was also held at that time and
the environmental impact assessment was concluded that no direct impact was recognized from the
environmental and social point of view. The stakeholders also accepted the concept of power
station construction planned by MOE..

3. Overview of Environment-related Laws and Regulations in Iraq
This section summarizes the history of Iraqi environmental administrations.
- In year 1972 Human Environment Directorate was established under Ministry of Health after
UN Conference on the Human Environment.
- In year 1986 Environmental Protection Center (EPC) was established under Ministry of Health,
according to Law No. 76 of 1986.
- In year 1997 at the enforcement of Environment Protection and Improvement Law No.3 of
1997, Environment Protection and Improvement Directorate (EPID) was established as a
merger of EPC, Center for Worker’s Safety and Health, and Center for Prevention of
Radioactive Contamination.
- According to the amendment of Environment Protection and Improvement Law in September

2001, Environment Protection and Improvement Council (EPIC) were established. EPIC is an
organization, composed of representatives of governmental and non-governmental
organizations and specialists, an ultimate decision-maker on environmental matters, the
conclusion of which is necessary to be endorsed by the cabinet.
- Establishment of Ministry of Environment

Based on the evaluation of EPID by UNEP in July and August of 2003 after the war, on
September 1 2003, Interim Governing Council nominated Minister of Environment and
established Ministry of Environment, which was formed mainly from EPID. Therefore, all
organizations under EPID except for Center for Worker’s Safety and Health, which was assigned
6-4
under Ministry of Labor and Social Affairs, were under the control of Ministry of Environment.
Ministry of Environment, under two deputy ministers, is composed of following departments,
which can be classified in two units as shown in Table 6-1.

- Merger of Ministry of Environment and Ministry of Health

Prime Minister, Mr. Haider Al Abadi, who has taken his position since 2014, announced the
reform plan including the re-organization of governmental entities. As of October 2015, the
Ministry of Environment, Iraq (“MOEN”) was merged into the Ministry of Health, Iraq
(“MOH”) was confirmed by MOE Study Team in this feasibility study meeting. However, the
organization of former MOEN was transferred to MOH properly and the function of MOEN
has been kept as it was.
4. Outline of Environmental Impact Assessment in Iraq
Environmental Impact Assessment (“EIA”) in Iraq has the appearance of EIA, but there still remain
some fields such as environmental monitoring etc. to be built up. The outline is described as follows.
First of all, in the “Site study”, during the course of project site selection, preliminary environmental
impact assessment is held towards the candidate sites. And then, after the permission of the
construction, in consequence of the selection of construction site, “Environmental Impact
Assessment is held.
6-5
“Site study”:
Following laws and regulations stipulate the implementation of Site study.
- Environmental Protection and Improvement Law, 1986 (Law No. 76 of 1986)

- Environmental Instruction for Industrial, Agricultural and Service Projects, 1990
“Site study” is a procedure for selecting a project site from among a number of locations proposed
by the proponent. Currently the Land Utilization Bureau of the MOE is in charge of the study of the
proposed sites from following viewpoints, which was originally conducted by the Environmental
Protection Center.
- Is the nature of the sector (of the project) suitable for the proposed sites? (Location
Requirements)
- Are appropriate measures for polluting sources being taken during construction and operation
of the project? (Environmental Requirements)
- Does the project conform to land utilization planning such as urban planning and regional
planning? (Fundamental Planning Limits)
All projects are classified and reviewed in three classes (A to C) in accordance with the level of
environmental risk. Power generation project is classified as Class A, for which following conditions
must be investigated. The exception is gas-firing project, which is classified as Class B.
Location Requirements:
- In the master plan with regard to gas-fired power plant construction within urban area and
other areas is permitted. (On the contrary, the construction of oil-fired power plant is
permitted only on the condition that the plant is constructed in the area with a certain
distance from the urban area.)
- The plant is not constructed in valleys and low-lying areas, where the master plan
indicates as residential areas.
Environmental Requirements:
- Exhaust gas treatment facilities is available.
- Plant wastewater treatment system in accordance with River management regulations is
introduced.
6-6
- Introduction of cooling water system in accordance with laws and regulations
Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA):

Following laws and regulations stipulate the implementation of Environmental Impact Assessment
(EIA).
- Environment Protection and Improvement Law, 1997 (Law No.3 of 1997)
“Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA)” is required to be implemented as a part of a feasibility

study after obtaining the permission of the construction, only for the projects categorized as Class A
or B in Site study.
Article 18 of Environment Protection and Improvement Law of 1997 indicates that following items
should be included in EIA report.
(Items required in Environmental Impact Assessment Report)

- Negative and positive impacts on the environment originated from the project, and the
points to be improved
- Submission of proposal or guideline for prevention and remediation of pollution
- Expected factors of pollution and the preventive measures
- Study on clean technology and effective utilization or possibility of substitution of
resources
- Study on reduction, recycle or reuse of wastes
- Estimation of cost regarding environmental damages and benefit of the project
5. Consideration of Environment and Social Feasibility for this Project
The concept of the Add-On Project is to install necessary equipment in simple cycle power station
for the combined cycle such as the heat recovery steam generator (“HRSG”) and the steam turbine
generator (“STG”) to recover the exhausted gas from the gas turbine of simple cycle power station
and generate the steam for the STG. The STG generates the electricity by using the steam without
additional fuel.
The planned simple cycle Nasiriyah Gas Turbine Power Station is 500MW in total (125MW x 4
units of gas turbine) and additional 250MW is also planned by the Add-On Project.
As the construction of the Add-On Project is started after the completion of simple cycle gas
6-7
turbine power station, it is considered that the EIA and necessary permissions for the construction
of simple cycle gas turbine power station has been done.
Therefore, in this feasibility study for the Add-On Project, the Japan study team focuses on the
environmental and social points may be affected by the Add-On Project such as Air pollution,
Water pollution, Solid Waste, Noise and Vibration mainly. As the additional land for the Add-On
Project may be required, this is also considered in this section.
During the feasibility study meeting with MOE, the Japan Study Team received following
information related to the above from MOE.

 Water regulation (for protection of rivers and public water from pollution)
The protection of rivers and public water from pollution is stipulated in the Regulation No. 25 of
1967. The public water means as follows.
6-9
- All the river in Iraq and their tributaries
- All streams, canals and channels and their primary and secondary tributaries
- All drainages and their primary and secondary branches
- Lakes, land marshes, ponds and swamps
- Springs, wells and other groundwater
- Basins and other water area
Based on the Regulation No. 25 of 1967, the following instruction was issued for the purpose of the
protection of rivers and public water from pollution. The table 6-5 shows the ratio permitted for
hydrogen, sulfide, toxic substances and others.

7. Conclusion
The result of EIA for the Preparatory Study for Development of Southern Large Scale Thermal
Power Plant in Republic of Iraq in Nasiriyah, which was carried out in 2011 – 2012, was that no
negative impacts against environmental /social points were recognized. Such EIA also covered
the area of Nasiriyah Gas Turbine Power Station (Simple cycle 500MW). In the view of capacity
of power station, in case Nasiriyah Gas Turbine Power Station will be increased up to 750MW
by the Add-On Project, it could be no problem because the effect of smaller power station is less
than larger one (i.e. Large Scale Thermal Power Station) in general and accordingly no negative
impacts will be recognized. However, MOE has to consider followings.
1. When MOE has an intention of execution of the Add-On Project, it is required that EIA in
accordance with laws, instructions regulated by MOH shall be done. MOE has to obtain
necessary construction permissions by the related authorities.
2. MOE has to take necessary action for related permits and approvals for construction of
power station in timely manner if it is necessary.
3. When MOE has an intention to apply the Add-On Project to Japanese Finance Scheme (i.e.
JBIC Buyer’s Credit Scheme), MOE shall follow JBIC guideline of environmental and
social consideration for screening, categorization, environmental review and monitoring.

Chapter 7
Financial and Economical Feasibility
7-1
(1) Project Cost Estimation
The construction cost for the conversion of the combined cycle of the gas turbine power station
from the existing simple cycle power station is necessary to be included in the project cost
estimation.
1．Basis and Assumptions

The project cost for the conversion to combined cycle of the gas turbine power station is estimated
by summing up costs of procurement of the equipment like the Steam Turbine Generator (“STG”),
Heat Recovery Steam Generators (“HRSG”), Condenser, Cooling Tower and other auxiliary
systems and costs of transportation, civil and installation work, commissioning, insurance and all
other necessary works.
Costs of procurement of the equipment like STG, HRSG, Condenser, Cooling Tower and other
auxiliary systems include the cost of engineering. Costs of transportation, civil and installation
work include costs of insurance, labor, field management, construction machinery, construction
materials, equipment and temporary facilities etc.
The Project Cost estimation excludes the following items;
・Cost for the land preparation

・Cost for the access road to the site
・Cost for Soil Investigation
・Cost for approval/certificate for construction at the site
・Cost for Electricity & Water supply for construction work
・Cost for additional Transmission facility
・Custom duty and Tax in Iraq
・Consideration of Escalation rate
・Consideration of Security cost during inland transportation and construction
・Consideration of Mandatory Spare Parts
Operation & Maintenance costs after the conversion to the combined cycle such as the additional
operating labor cost, the fuel cost and the maintenance cost etc. are not considered for this project
cost estimation since the purpose of this chapter is to estimate the initial project cost for the
conversion to combined cycle of the gas turbine power station.
7-2
2．Project Cost of conversion to combined cycle of the gas turbine power station
The Project Cost of conversion to combined cycle of the gas turbine power station is estimated
with following categories consisting of three items such as 1) Main Equipment, 2) Ancillary
Facilities and 3) Inland Transportation, Civil, Construction & Installation.
Three (3) scenarios are set forth only for this financial analysis purpose as shown in the table 7-1.
The construction cost of Scenario 1 is suggested by MOE according to the previous project and
therefore set as a base scenario. Scenario 2 is 15% cost up scenario and Scenario 3 is 45% cost up
scenario.
For the avoidance of doubt, each Project Cost of such three scenario mentioned in Table 7-1 is the
tentative figures only for this financial analysis and is changeable depending on the circumstances
like origin of equipment and materials, local labor cost, local material cost, timing of the project
and terms and conditions of the contract when the project would be materialized in the future.

Remarks:
In consideration with the guideline of Japan Bank for International Cooperation (“JBIC”),
minimum 30% of the project cost must be for the goods/service made in/by Japan including 10% of
made in Japan.
7-3
(2) Financial and Economic Analysis
1．Method of financial analysis
The financial analysis based on Project IRR (Internal Rate of Return）including the finance cost and
the interest payment for the loan is made and the sensitivity analysis for each scenario mentioned in
this Chapter 7 is also made by changing the electricity tariff.
2．Basis and Assumptions

For the purpose of calculation of Project IRR, the following assumptions are set and applied.
a. Plant Capacity
The design value of the steam turbine generator of 250MW is applied as the plant capacity for the
financial analysis purpose only.
b. Project Cost
As per the Project Cost of this Chapter 7
c. Finance
The Buyer’s Credit Scheme by JBIC (“JBIC Buyer’s Credit Scheme”) is considered as the finance
source of this project.
The following loan conditions for JBIC Buyer’s Credit Scheme shown in the below Table 7-2 are
tentatively applied for the financial analysis purpose only.
Table 7-2 Loan conditions
Own finance Million US$ 15％ of the total project cost

Loan Amount Million US$ 85％ of the total project cost
Interest 6.0％ per year CIRR + Risk Premium
CIRR: Commercial Interest Reference Rate
In case of the repayment period is over 8.5
years, CIRR is 3.04% (Validity: Jan. 15, 2016 to
Feb. 14, 2016)
Repayment period 10 years After Commissioning
Upfront fee 2.0％ For 40% of Loan Amount
Commitment fee 0.2％ per year
For the avoidance of doubt, the above loan conditions are for the financial analysis purpose only
7-4
and should be confirmed with JBIC and the commercial bank(s) in Japan during the development
of the project.
d. Operation Term
Although the operation term of simple cycle gas turbine power station is generally considered for
20 to 25 years, the operation term for the project is set for 15 years for the financial analysis
purpose only.
e. Degradation Rate
The degradation rate is set at minus (-) 0.5% per year for the financial analysis purpose only.
f. Transmission & Distribution Loss

Transmission & Distribution Loss is set at 10% for the financial analysis purpose only based on the
information from MOE in Dec. 2015.
g. Availability
The availability is set at 91%, which corresponds to 11 months operation per year for the financial
analysis purpose only.
h. Average Plant Capacity Factor

Although the plant capacity factor generally differs from the ambient temperature, the ambient
pressure and ambient humidity etc., the average plant capacity factor for this project is set at 80%
without consideration of such factors for the financial analysis purpose only.
i. Annual Generation (MWh/year)

= Plant Capacity x Plant Capacity Factor x 8,760h/year x Availability
j. Revenue (Million US$ per year）

= Electricity Tariff (US Cent/kWh) x Annual Generation (MWh) x (1- Transmission & Distribution
Loss) /100,000
k. Fuel Cost (Million US$ per year)

The fuel cost is set at free of charge for the financial analysis purpose only based on the assumption
that the objective of this financial analysis is only for the portion of conversion to the combined
cycle and the steam from the existing simple cycle gas turbine power station is recovered and
utilized as the fuel for the combined cycle.
7-5
l. Operation & Maintenance Cost
The Operation & Maintenance Cost is set at US$ 6.0/MWh including consumable items for the
financial analysis purpose only based on the assumption that the power station after the conversion
to the combined cycle can be operated without any increase of the number of workers at the
existing simple cycle power station, although the Operation & Maintenance Cost can be varied by
increase or decrease in the number of workers after the conversion to the combined cycle and the
periodical inspection and overhaul etc.
m. Electricity Tariff
The electricity tariff is set at US Cent 7.0/kWh, which was provided in “Study on New Gas Turbine
Power Station at the Akkas Gas Field in Anbar Governorate, the Republic of Iraq” carried out under
“Study on Economic Partnership Projects in Developing Countries in FY 2008”. This electricity
tariff (i.e. US Cent 7.0/kWh) is used as the base case only for this sensitivity analysis.
3．Financial Analysis
a. Result of Financial Analysis
Project IRR, which includes the finance cost and the repayment interest, for each scenario under the
base case (Electricity tariff: US Cent 7.0/kWh) is as per following Table 7-3;
The calculation sheet for each scenario under the base case is herewith attached.
Table 7-3 Result of Financial Analysis
Scenario Project IRR

Scenario 1 (Base Scenario) 16.9%
Scenario 2 14.3%
Scenario 3 10.3%
b. Sensitivity Analysis
The sensitivity analysis is made by changing the electricity tariff as per Table 7-4.
The result of this sensitivity analysis is studied by the comparison between the Project IRR and the
hurdle rate (i.e. 10%), which is the same figure as the discount rate for this financial analysis. Such
discount rate is tentatively set for the financial analysis purpose only with reference to the interest
of the long-term government bond in US$ issued by the countries of which the rating by Standard
& Poor’s and Moody’s are same or almost same as Iraq (respectively, Standard & Poor’s: B-,
Moody’s: Caa1 as of Jan. 2016).

b-1. As for Scenario 1

In case where the electricity tariff is US Cent 4.9/Kwh (Case 3), Project IRR is 9.7% and is under
the hurdle rate (i.e. 10.0%).


4．Economic Analysis
According to MOE, MOE has the base policy to develop the conversion to the combined cycle of
the gas turbine power station under IPP (Independent Power Producer) Scheme. In that case, MOE
will make a long-term power purchase agreement with the IPP developer(s) and will pay for such
purchase of the electricity for a long term.
On the other hand, MOE can select another option to develop the conversion to combined cycle of
the gas turbine power station under EPC (Engineering, Procurement and Construction) + Finance
scheme. In this case, MOE does not need to purchase the electricity from the IPP developer(s) and
to pay out for such electricity for a long term.
The below Table 7-5 is the comparison between IPP scheme and EPC + Finance scheme from the
viewpoint of total cash out by MOE for the conversion to combined cycle of the gas turbine power
station.
7-7

30％ Down
Case 4:
7.7 1,739 581 648 776
10％ Up
Remarks:
“Cash out of IPP Scheme” means the total amount of electricity tariff to be paid under the power
purchase agreement and operation & maintenance cost to be paid by MOE.
“Cash out of EPC + Finance Scheme” means the total amount of EPC cost, operation &
maintenance cost, Finance cost and interest payment for the loan to be paid by MOE.
According to the above Table 7-5, it is confirmed that although the initial cost of EPC + Finance
scheme is larger than IPP scheme, total cash out to be paid by MOE under EPC + Finance scheme
is much smaller than total cash out under IPP scheme in every scenario.
From the viewpoint of the total cash out, it is considered that not only IPP scheme but also EPC +
Finance scheme can be beneficial method for MOE to develop the conversion to the combined
cycle of the gas turbine power station and also to achieve the target under the National
Development Plan (2013-2017).

Project Implementation Schedule
8-1
8.1 Project Implementation schedule
The implementation of the Add-On Project is envisaged to start once the simple cycle gas turbine
power station is completed, as follows. The Project Implementation Time Schedule (Base) is
attached.
 Simple cycle gas turbine power station poject starts in early 2016, lasts 25 months and end in
first quarter of 2018
 The Add-On Project will start at 2nd quarter of 2018 and last 33 months therefore will be
completed by end of 2020
As alternative, upon MOE’s request, another implementation schedule has been studied in order to
anticipate the Add-On Project early completion. The Project Implementation Time Schedule
(Alternative) is attached.
 The concept is to start some engineering and procurement activities of the Add-On Project 3
months ahead of the simple cycle gas turbine power station completion.
Both Project implementation schedule consider pre award activities like Add-On Project proposal
preparation, discussion and Contract finalisation including financing scheme to be concurrent with
simple cycle power station construction. Further this concept has the advantage of avoiding the two
EPC contractors (simple cycle power station construction and Add-On Project) working
simultaneously at site which may otherwise may lead to difficulties in terms of managing the site
related activities such as lay-down area, materials movement, interface on the common working
areas etc.
As result of this alternative study, the Add-On EPC Project may be started at beginning of 2018 and
the completion by 3rd quarter of 2020 resulting in anticipating the completion in 30 months excluding
an overlap with SCGT execution schedule of 3 Months pre-engineering work.

Technological Advantages of Japanese
Companies
10-1
1. Competitiveness of Japanese Companies
 Consideration of Involvement of Japanese Companies
In consideration of security situation in Iraq, the construction work by Japanese companies may be
limited even in the southern part of Iraq where is considered as stable area. Also, visiting the site
for maintenance purpose may be continuously restricted. Therefore, it is desirable that reliable
equipment should be supplied and installed in the plant in order to realize less-maintenance and/or
easy maintenance. Japanese equipment manufacturer shows their high reliability based on quality
controlled manufacturing such as steam turbine, heat recover steam generator, cooling tower,
power cycling pumps, related electrical equipment and control equipment which are necessary
main equipment for the Add-On Project. For the quality control and quality assurance, the Quality
Management System has been established and maintained systematically by documented procedure.
Since the strong preference for Japanese equipment as main equipment of the Add-On Project has
been shown by the Ministry of Electricity, Iraq (“MOE”) in this study, the possibility of
involvement of Japanese companies is expected.
 Advantages of Japanese Companies
The main purpose of the Add-On Project is to increase the output comparing with simple cycle and to
achieve the higher efficiency to reduce the fuel consumption. In this regards, Japanese leading
equipment manufacturers have many experiences to optimize the steam cycle in accordance with
specific condition such as in Iraq and to develop the equipment model. Moreover, the utilization of
steam exhaust from existing Gas Turbine efficiently is one of the important parts of which many
Japanese leading manufacturers, including manufacturers who do not manufacture Gas Turbine,
have accumulated their technology for a long time. Therefore, Japanese leading equipment
manufacturers are expected to contribute a lot toward optimization of model and cycle like this
project.
With regard to the possibility that Japanese engineers cannot visit the site due to the security
situation in Iraq, it is considered that technical advisor from neighbouring countries can be
dispatched as alternative solution. For this method to be workable, site engineers should be trained
by Japanese manufacture so that site engineers can smoothly understand the advice or direction
from technical advisor. This kind of training by Japanese manufacturer can also contribute not only
transferring of technology but also development of skilled human resource in future.
10-2
Also, the possibility for the utilization of the overseas affiliated company (ex. in India) managed
and quality-controlled by Japanese manufacturer was confirmed by MOE during this study. In this
case, there is also a possibility of the economic advantage with same quality compared with
so-called pure Japanese equipment (i.e. Made in Japan).
 Involvement of Japanese Companies
As mentioned above, Japanese leading manufacturers have technical capabilities in optimization of

cycle and many experiences. In order to take these advantages, it may be necessary to make a
presentation to MOE and/or to invite MOE engineers to have inspection at factory of Japanese
manufacturer in Japan and/or overseas. In case JBIC Buyer’s credit scheme is applied to the
Add-On Project, the involvement of Japanese companies will be necessary because 30% rule of
Japanese contents for the goods and services is required.

Project Implementation

Project Implementation
11.1 Engineering
Most appropriate technology, scale and configuration have been considered through the comparison
of various options. Following is the description of the technologies selected for major components of
Add-on project.
11.1.1 Considerations on technology and design
While the configuration of the Add-On project (multi shafts, 4/4/1) has been discussed in section
3.2.3 of Chapter 3, this paragraph intends to cover those considerations relevant to the technology
and compare different solutions.
The Gas Turbines will be installed in simple cycle having exhaust stack. In order to increase the
availability, the Add-On project shall allow the possibility to operate the gas turbines in simple cycle
therefore the Add-On project shall include diverter damper and conversion of the simple cycle
exhaust stack into a bypass stack.
Type of Heat Recovery Steam Generator (“HRSG”): - As the primary function of the Add-On
project is to recover the thermal energy of the exhaust gases the first consideration is about the HRSG.
Considering that the exhaust gas temperature is in the range of 450°C to 500°C, the suggested HRSG
will have 2 steam pressure levels. The 2 pressure levels ensure higher heat recovery than the single
pressure level ensuring a lower exhaust temperature from the HRSG stack. The solution with triple
pressure HRSG is ruled out because it is economically viable when the exhaust gas temperature is in
the range of 600°C to 650°C that is typical for the Class F gas turbines.
Considering easy maintainability and lesser Auxiliary power requirement it is recommended of apply
horizontally arrangement HRSG type, i.e. with exhaust gases flowing in horizontal direction and
exchange tubes are arranged in vertical direction. The horizontal arrangement is preferred to the
vertical arrangement because the circulation of the water in the heat exchange tubes is naturally
driven by the water density difference and does not require pumps to circulate the water as in the
vertical type HRSG. This solution has therefore less auxiliary consumption and constructability
advantage at site.
The HRSG will have no supplementary firing as these features will not increase the efficiency of the
combined cycle although steam turbine output will increase.
11-2
The Add-On Project does not consider adding any firing capability so the gaseous emissions coming
from the Gas Turbines and discharged to the atmosphere through the main stacks downstream each
HRSG will be the same as for the simple cycle. The emissions of the exhaust gases from the main
stacks will be continuously monitored.
The control of the emissions limitation is done on the gas turbine combustors. As the gas turbines
have Non Dry Low Nox (“Non-DLN”) combustors the emission control Nitrogen Oxide (“NOx”)
with demineralised water injection is applied. The water is injected into the gas turbine combustors
for all types of fuel firing to reduce the production of NOx, Therefore HRSGs are not having any
provision for NOx abetment facility like Selective Catalytic Reduction (“SCR”).
Type of Steam Turbine and cooling system: - The steam turbine shall be tandem compound, full
condensing type with HP and LP casings. Steam turbine shall have no steam extractions as there is no
requirement of steam for facilities such as feed water heaters, district heating, desalination, utility etc.
Water cooled condenser (“WCC”) is applied in this project since water is available from the nearby
river throughout the year and the WCC has better efficiency and occupies less space as compared to
air cooled condenser. The condenser will be of shell and tube surface condensing type heat exchanger,
where the condensing heat is removed by cooling water flowing through the tubes which is further
cooled in evaporative Cooling Tower. Due to poor water quality having high salt contents, titanium
tubes will be applied.
The cooling water circulating in the Cooling Tower and Condenser will be produced from river water
with appropriate pre-treatment process to remove the suspended particles. The chemical properties of
the condenser cooling water and its concentration factor will be controlled with injection of
chemicals and by control of the blow-down rate.
Feed Water and Condensate System: - Common de-aerator for 4 HRSGs has been envisaged for the
project considering advantage due to lower number of feed water pumps and consequently lower
number of electrical feeders & power cables, less foot prints, reduced construction & commissioning
time and its suitability for base load operation. 3x50% capacity HP/LP common feed water pumps
for the four HRSGs with intermediate tap-off to cater to Low pressure feed water is envisaged as an
optimal solution to save space and cost considering base load operation design.
The redundancy criteria for the Add-On project in regard to the water and steam cycle pumps like
Condensate Extraction Pump, Feed Water Pump, Aux Cooling Water Pump, and Closed Cycle
11-3
Cooling Water Pump are considered in 3x 50% configuration. This implies that each pump can cater
to requirement of 2 HRSG operation and hence in the event that 2 nos. GTs and associated HRSGs
are shut down then just 1x50% capacity pump would be sufficient to meet the requirement.
In order to optimize the usage and capacity of integrated Add-on facility with the existing SCGT
facilities, consideration has been given to use existing facilities as far as possible. The following
areas has been considered for interface with SCGT facilities
a) Demineralization (“DM”) storage and transfer

b) Service and potable water
c) Effluent Treatment Plant (ETP) facilities
d) Sewage plant
e) Firefighting system
f) Control building
g) Continuous Emission Monitoring System

Reference: IRM1-CMZ-1PF-ZOO-0001 Plant Flow Diagram (Attachment 2)
(i) Steam Turbine
For this project, tandem compound, non-extraction, non-reheat, condensing type steam turbine has
been considered. The steam entry to the turbine would be through a main stop and control valves,
which would govern the speed / load of the machine. The turbine control system would be of Digital
electro-hydraulic type.
The steam turbine would be complete with separate lube oil and control oil system. The gland sealing
steam for the steam turbines would be taken from HP steam header and will be de-pressurized and
de-superheated before supply to turbine glands. The gland steam header supplies seal steam during
steam turbine start-up and reduce the start-up time. The steam turbine is installed on a rigid
Reinforced Cement Concrete (“RCC”) pedestal type foundation.
(ii) HRSG
At exhaust of the gas turbine diverter damper and bypass stack (existing gas turbine stack shall be

100% AC motor driven liquid ring vacuum pumps. One pump is operated during normal operation
(holding mode) of the plant, while both vacuum pumps will be operated during the start-up (hogging
mode). The non-condensable gases extracted are discharged to the atmosphere.
(iv) Condensate Extraction Pumps

The condensate and make-up water collected in the hot well is delivered by (3) x 50% (2W +1S)
condensate extraction pumps to the deaerator/ feedwater storage tank after passing through the
Condensate Pre Heater (“CPH”) of each HRSG in parallel. Each condensate extraction pump will be
provided with separate suction lines from the condenser. Two (2) pumps will be in operation for base
load, the third serves as standby and it is switched on automatically in case of failure of a running
pump or the header pressure falling below a pre-set limit. Each condensate extraction pump can
11-5
support operation of two HRSG (half block). The level in the hot well is maintained by control of the
make-up feed. A condensate common minimum flow valve is provided to ensure minimum flow

sprayed through nozzle as it falls through an internal arrangement of trays. The deaerating steam is
passed over the trays and the splashing condensate water inside the de-aerator is heated to the
saturation temperature at the Deaerator operating pressure and it is simultaneously stripped of the
dissolved oxygen. During normal operation, both heating and de-aerating operations are enabled with
HP steam after reduction to suitable pressure and temperature.
(vi) HP/LP Feed Water Pumps

The preheated and degassed feedwater is supplied to the HRSG’s by three (3) x 50% (2W + 1S)
constant speed HP/LP feed-water pumps. Feed water pumps are installed below de-aerator/feedwater
tank on ground floor. LP feed water is tapped off from an intermediate stage of HP/LP feed-water

conditions. While deciding the heat duty of the condenser, the heat load during steam dumping
(HP/LP bypass operation) will also be considered as one of the operating conditions with higher
temperature rise and condenser back pressure allowed to increase up to the steam turbine exhaust
back pressure alarm setting level.
The WCC is shell and tube type, two pass & two parallel halves. Lower portion of condenser i.e.

11.2 Transportation Conditions and Security Escort
11.2.1 Inland Transportation into Iraq

There are some transportation routes into Iraq by land through the border of neighboring countries
and by ocean route through the Umm Qasr port. The table 13-1 shows main routes into Iraq.
Table 13-1 / Main Transportation Route into Iraq

Route: By: Entry Point in Iraq:
Turkey route by land Ibrahim Al Khalil (Duhok Governorate, KRG)
Syria route by land Rabia (Nineva Governorate)
Al-Waleed (Anbar Governorate)
Jordan route by load Trebil (Anbar Governorate)
Iran route by land Haji Omran (Erbil Governorate, KRG)
Bashmarkh (Sulaymaniyah Governorate, KRG)
Al Muntheriyah (Diyala Governorate)
Zarbatiya (Wasit Govenorate)
Al Sheeb (Maysan Governorate)
Shalamcha (Basrah Governorate)
Iraq route by ocean Umm Qasr port (Basrah Governorate)
(Source: Bureau Veritas)
However, when the transportation into Iraq is considered, it is necessary to study the circumstances
of security situation in Iraq neighboring country at first. Currently, it is understood that the security
situation of the southern part of Iraq is stable in general but north and northwest part has become
worse due to the Islamic State for Iraq and Syria (“ISIS”). Therefore, taking current security situation
in/around Iraq into consideration, the following two (2) routes are considered as passable and
realistic transportation route for materialization of the Project.
 Iraq route (via the port of Umm Qasr in Iraq)

 Turkey route (via the port of Iskanderun / Mersin in Turkey)
Before, the Jordan route, the Syria route, and the Iran routes were also available but they are not
considered as potential transportation route in this study because of the following reasons.
Jordanian route and the Syrian route, it is too dangerous to handle the transportation of cargoes
through Anbar Governorate where some cities/areas have been occupied and controlled by ISIS
11-23
which is beyond the risk can be managed. As for the border between Iraq and Iran, there are several
entry points, however they are frequently closed and it is difficult to plan punctual transportation
schedule for the implementation of the Project.
11.2.2 Characteristics of Candidate Transportation Routes

 Iraq route
It is available for Umm Qasr Port to receive and handle any heavy equipment and cargoes for any
infrastructure project in Iraq. The inland transport through Umm Qasr Port could be smoothly done.
1) The port of Umm-Qasr

There are 12 berths with depth of 9.0-9.5 meters. The Port of Umm-Qasr is only Iraq commercial
port at this moment. It is better to arrange vessels with cranes because cranes in Umm Qasr port
may not work properly.
2) Trailer
The standard trailers with good quality are available and they are sufficient. The standard
low-bed trailers are also available. The conditions of the trailers/equipment in Iraq are not same
as international standard but it is understood that they are good enough for the purpose of the
transportation in Iraq.
3) Import customs clearance

Customs clearance takes 1 - 3 days after all required documents are available.
11-24
1) Road Conditions
The routes from Umm-Qasur to Nasiriyah city is currently good conditions. The road survey
before the transportation is recommended.
 Turkey route
It takes many days because of the distances from port (Iskenderun / Mersin) in Turkey to border
which is approximately 770 km and from border to site which is approximately 885 km. The security
condition in northern part of Iraq is not stable however the transportation through north of Iraq is
partly possible. This route is normally familiar to use for the delivery of cargoes to northern part of
Iraq and Kurdistan region such as Erbil Governorate, Duhok Governorate Sulaymaniah Governorate,
and up to Baghdad area. Due to long distance, the transportation cost is high and risk of
transportation especially inside of Iraq is also high compared to other routes.
2) The port of Iskenderun

Iskenderun port is Turkey’s most important port which can handle the cargoes for Iraq,
especially heavy equipment and machineries. As there are 8 berths in the port and its water depth
is around 9.0-15.50 meters, conventional vessels mainly stop at this port. It is necessary to
arrange shipment which has derrick rigs for loading/unloading of heavy equipment. There is
enough space in the port. There is also Mersin port near the Iskenderun port which normally
handles container cargoes.
11-25
3) Trailer
It is possible to use Turkish trailer until destination in Iraq. Heavy lift low bed trailer with the
capacity up to 275 tons is available. The security convoy can be provided if it is necessary. For
general cargo, tractor head shall be changed from Turkish tractor head to Iraqi one at Zakho or
Kirkuk area in Iraq.
4) Road Conditions
1) To Iraqi border (Ibrahim Al Khalil)
Double lane asphalt roads will be used. It is said that the maximum cargo weight on this route is
275 tons and the maximum cargo size is set at length: 8.75 m, height: 5 m and width: 6 m.
2) From border to site (Nasiriyah)

The road condition from Ibrahim Al Khalil to Nasiriyah is no problem. However it is highly
recommended that final road survey should be done before the transportation.
Detailed comparison of candidate transportation route for reference is also attached as the table
11-2-1.
11-26
11-27
11.2.3 Security Escort for inland transportation
One of points should be considered for the transportation in Iraq is whether the security escort for
inland transportation is necessary or not. This depends on the security situation of transportation
route and characteristic of cargoes. At the moment, it is not mandatory arrangements in terms of the
arrangement of insurance coverage for inland transportation, however it is recommended that
necessity of security escort should be studied and evaluated by obtaining advices from not only
transportation companies but also Private Security Companies (“PSC”) when transportation schedule
is planned.
In case the security escort by PSC for inland transportation is needed, the following points shall be
considered in general.
 Convoy Protection
- Team leader who is familiar with region and locals
- Number of trucks
- Recovery truck and spare tractor head
- All trucks shall be inspected
- In case of slow moving due to cargo which has speed limitation or transit in threat
area, additional countermeasures shall be considered
 Route selection
- Point of convoy commencement and delivery
- Weight and speed of trucks
- Bridges and road situation
- Threat
- Refueling points
- Safe area/point
- Estimated time of travel
- Alternative route
 Communication
- Reliable communication tools
- Monitoring system
11.2.4 Conclusion
11-28
Iraq route from Umm Qasr port to the site in Nasiriyah is the best route for transportation of the
Project at the moment in the view of handling of cargoes, distance-wise and stable security situation
of the route/region. Turkey route is also possible to be considered for alternative route.
However, it is highly recommended that all potential transportation routes shall be well studied and
evaluated based on the latest status of following points when time and route for transportation is
planned.
 Security situation in Iraq and neighboring countries

 Conditions of port and its facilities to be used for unloading of cargoes
 Availability of necessity type/number of trucks (normal / low bed trailer) required capacity of
cranes for handling of cargoes
 Conditions of route from port for unloading of cargoes to final destination
 Characteristic of cargoes such as heavy weight, length, limitation of transportation speed, etc
11-29
11.3 Construction (Installation and Commissioning)
Since Installation and commissioning should be implemented at site, the utilization of local
contractor with the capacity in terms of technical experience and quality control should be effective
at site where engineers from foreign countries can’t come and go freely depending on security
situation. In respect of gathering labour force, the main idea is to employ workers with in Iraq via
contractors considering the augmentation of labour demand in Iraq. Also it is possible to employ
workers from the third countries, but it is better to employ only Iraqi workers considering ethnic
matter
Regarding commissioning, training at manufacturer’s works is necessary in case technical advisors
can’t be dispatched.
Material and machinery owned by contractor will be used at the stage of construction. Material and
machinery not procured in Iraq will be purchased from the neighbouring countries.

11.3.7 Plant Layout

References: IRM1-GMG-0LE-ZOO-0001 Plot Plan (SCGT to Add-on conversion) (Attachment 8)
11.3.8 Main Features

Plant arrangement is done for 4-4-1 configuration of combined cycle power plant. Among various
options evaluated the most favourable option that has least changes to the existing SCGT layout was
agreed in a meeting with MOE officials and the same has been applied for this FS report. Major
considerations for proposed plant arrangement are:
11-32
• Minimum disturbance to SCGT facility planning. In order to integrate the Add-On Project
with the SCGT Project some changes on the SCGT lay out have been found unavoidable
however this these change are kept as minimum as possible.
• Arrangement of facilities in line with process flow requirements.
• Short connections between all plant areas and major components for piping, ducts, cables
and related interconnecting structures, resulting in lower losses
• Short distances for operation and maintenance
• Optimal arrangement with reference to the available space
11.3.9 Plant Arrangement

Overall concept of plant as proposed by MOE for simple cycle is extended to plan add-on facilities
for combined cycle.
Main entry, location of administrative block, material entry gate location is kept same as planned for
Simple cycle gas turbine plant. Power evacuation facilities are kept same as planned in SCGT
concept. Additional land required for add on facilities is mentioned in plot plan drawing.
Steam turbine building is located centrally between four Gas turbine units with block of two gas
turbines each on East and West of the Steam turbine.
The Steam Turbine and generator are located in Steam Turbine Building. The machine set is
supported on a single foundation block. The maintenance of the Steam Turbine is by an overhead
crane located inside the Steam Turbine Building. HP/LP Feed water pumps are located in shed with
roof and partial side cladding adjacent to the Steam Turbine Building. De-aerator cum feed water
tank is located outdoors on the side roof of the STG building at suitable elevation and nearer to the
feed water pumps. Vacuum pumps and condensate pumps are located inside steam turbine building.
Unloading space for carrying equipment from STG building is provided. Space for access and
maintenance shall be kept in STG building as per good engineering practices and considering O & M
requirements.
The Electrical boards (MV, LV, DC/UPS, Battery and the Instrumentation and control) are located
inside electrical building attached to STG building.
The HRSGs are also located outdoor. A pipe rack for interconnecting piping between HRSGs and
Steam Turbine has been considered.
Compressed air system, Sampling and dosing systems are envisaged in STG Building Ground floor.
Induced draft cooling tower and MCW pump house is located considering prevalent wind direction.
A sufficient clearance from neighbouring facilities is maintained to allow unrestricted air flow to
cooling tower. The DM Water Treatment Plant is located in a building near existing SCGT water
treatment plant. Raw water tanks, pre-treatment plant, effluent treatment plant facilities are planned
in vicinity. This enables optimized planning.
11-33
Slight modification in simple cycle plant facilities is required to achieve optimal utilization of
available plant area.
Laydown, preassembly area, storage required during construction time is planned on south side of
plant. Necessary space for the same is to be allocated by owner.
11.3.10 Changes on SC layout

References: IRM1-GMG-0LE-ZOO-0002 SCGT to Add-On Plot Plan Changes (Attachment 9)
The proposed Lay Out drawing for the entire Combined Cycle Power Plant has been drafted by
implementing some changes on the initial Lay-out of the Simple Cycle Project and then adding the
equipment and structures for the Add-On project.
The list below intends to highlight the major changes on the initial SC Lay-Out drawing:
(1) The Fuel Unloading Area and the Fire Station building have been rearranged
(2) The Area with the common systems of the SC project (Fuel Tanks, Water treatment, etc…) has
been shifted toward west direction of about 260 m.
(3) The Water Treatment Area for the Add-On Project (including the Cooling Tower) has been
added at east side.
(4) An extra area has been added so that the fence of the SC initial layout results shifted toward west
side of about 260 m.
(5) The road on the North side of the SCGT plant has been further pushed north side by 15 m to
accommodate the HRSG pipe rack of the Add-on facility.
11-34
11.4 Plant Operation Concept
The basic operation concept of the combined cycle plant after Add-on facility is incorporated is based
on following considerations.
• Simple cycle operation of all 4 GTs is possible in the event of steam turbine trip or
shutdown. However, GTs shall be automatically run back to a pre-set low load and
ramp-up to full load after closing respective diverter dampers.
• Any nos of GT can be operated and accordingly the steam turbine output will vary.
• It will be possible to start the plant after a black out or cold start with one GT starting at a
time in sequential manner as selected by the Operator.
• Combined cycle plant can be started with any number of GTs in operation. For more details
refer description in later part of this section.
• In the event any HRSG is shutdown, the corresponding GT will automatically run back to a
pre-set low load and simultaneously the bypass damper will operate to allow operation in
Simple cycle mode
• All GTs coupled to the respective HRSG and Steam turbine will be equally loaded up and
down. If any GT is operating in simple cycle then such limitation does not apply to that GT.
Total output required from the plant will be distributed by the AGC control among the
GTs.
• In the event of condenser protection or steam turbine trip, the GTs will run back to a pre-set
low load and simultaneously will change to simple cycle operation by the operation of the
bypass damper.
11.4.1 Start-up
In principle two start-up procedures are feasible:
11.4.1.1 Starting of GT via Bypass Stack (Simple Cycle Operation)

During combined cycle start-up with GTs on full load, the exhaust gases of each GT are discharged to
atmosphere via the bypass stack.
When stable GT operation is achieved, the flue gas flow is gradually routed step by step through the
HRSGs by means of the opening of diverter dampers.
As the damper position is gradually opened steam output and pressure / temp increases from the
HRSG and once the steam parameters are acceptable for admission to steam turbine, steam turbine
rolling, speedup, synchronization and load up takes place. To match the steam parameters and steam
turbine start-up times, the bypass damper position need to be maintained at different part open
11-35
positions till the steam turbine has reached suitable load. Parallel or Sequential start of the GTs and
coupling of each unit HRSG steam to be considered suitably in this mode by adjusting the damper
opening position and /or GT load..
.
11.4.1.2 Starting of GTs with exhaust through HRSGs (Combined Cycle Operation from
starting of GTs)
Flue gas from the GTs flows through the HRSGs from the very beginning (gas turbine start). As the
GT load increase the steaming rate increases and once the steam parameters are acceptable for
admission to steam turbine, steam turbine rolling, speedup, synchronization and load up takes place.
To match the steam parameters and steam turbine start-up times, the GT load need to be maintained
at different part loads and reaches full load after steam turbine has reached suitable load. Parallel or
Sequential start of the GTs and coupling of each unit HRSG steam to be considered suitably in this
mode.
With both the start-up modes, the individual requirements of GT, HRSG and ST (like load increase
rates, holding points, steam conditions, limiting values, etc.) have to be checked and verified by
means a step by step procedure.
11.4.1.3 Steam Turbine Bypass Operation

For smooth start-up and shut down of the combined cycle plant, specially to match the steam flows
and pressure / temperature 100% capacity HP/LP bypass stations are provided. In the event of steam
turbine trip (load rejection at 100% load) the HP/LP bypass valves are used to dump the excess steam
from HRSG to the condenser. .
Offered is an individual HP bypass system for each HRSG. The LP steam production (much smaller)
of all 4 HRSGs per Block is routed via one common LP bypass station into the condenser.
This configuration is very flexible and covers all transient and emergency operation cases of the plant
without discharging steam by safety valves to atmosphere. The whole system, consisting of valves,
pumps and piping, etc. is designed for 100% bypass operation at full load.
11.4.2 Normal / Part Load Operation

During normal operation the steam turbine inlet valves are fully open (sliding pressure). Throttling of
the live steam, with reduced inlet pressure and thus reduced plant efficiency is avoided. Steam
Turbine will operate in sliding pressure mode above appropriate steam pressure and flow (to be
determined by OEM)
When 2 or more GTs of a Block are in combined cycle operation mode, part load operation of the
block is achieved by increasing or reducing the load of the running GTs in parallel.
11-36
For the station load below 50%, it is advisable to operate the plant the plant in half block (2 GTs
under shut down). Exact conditions and limitations will be determined during project execution.

Conclusions and Recommendations
12-1
1. Conclusion
Through the feasibility study, it was recognized and reconfirmed that the electricity demand in Iraq
has been rapidly increasing and the development and improvement of electricity supply has not met
such demand because of following reasons.
 The development and improvement of transportation network for fuel oil and fuel gas to the
power plants have been delayed.
 The security situation in some regions / governorates became worse because of Islamic
State of Iraq and Syria (“ISIS”) and the Government of Iraq was obliged to allocate their
budget to Iraqi army to sweep ISIS.
 Since oil market price has been decreasing, the national budget of Iraq is also decreased.
Accordingly the Government of Iraq cannot allocate enough budgets for reconstruction
projects for the country and Iraqi people.
Taking the abovementioned circumstances into consideration, the discussion and study with the
Ministry of Electricity, Iraq (“MOE”) was made and concluded as follows.
As the abovementioned circumstances get entangled each other actually and disturb actively of
ministries for development, improvement and reconstruction, it is complicated and difficult to
overcome. However, it was reconfirmed that there is a way for MOE to tackle with the development
and improvement of electricity supply in short term using available and existing resources which is
one of top priority projects “Add-On Project “of MOE master plan.
In order to achieve them in short term, MOE decided and selected Nasiriyah Gas Turbine Power
Station (500MW), where is along with the Euphrates river, located in Nasiriyah, Thi Qar
Governorate, to be combined cycle power station which does not require additional fuel but can
materialize expansion of generation capacity (additional 250MW). And, MOE, together with Thi Qar
Governorate, has already conducted EIA for the area of power stations in Nasiriyah in 2011-2012.
MOE also decided the plant configuration as combined cycle 4/4/1 basis considering economical
EPC cost compared to 2/2/1 x2 configuration.
As for the view of electricity transmission, MOE has planned enough expansion of substations and
transmission lines by 2020 in order to meet the capacity of expected increasing power generation.
Therefore, additional 250MW from Nasiriyah Gas Turbine Power Station by Add-On Project does
not make negative affect on the transmission network for electricity supply.
12-2
Nasiriyah is located in Thi Qar Governorate which is around 250 km from Umm Qasr port. For
transportation-wise, there are advantages that the site is near to Iraqi port to receive and handle
cargoes and it is short distance for inland transportation in the region with stable security situation.
Further, though MOE has a plan to proceed with the Add-On Project by IPP scheme, MOE
considered the total cost to be paid by MOE in case of IPP scheme and decided to proceed with this
study based on EPC basis, which shall not exceed the total cost of IPP scheme, with consideration to
utilize the financing scheme provided by foreign institutes such as JBIC Buyer’s Credit Scheme
(namely “EPC + Finance”) to cover the lack of MOE’s budget due to decrease of the national budget
of Iraq.
From the above considerations, it is understood that the Add-On project for Nasiriyah Gas Turbine
Power Station is suitable solution against the current circumstances around MOE and this is the
project which is possible to realize and materialize under the current situation and circumstances in
Iraq.
2. Recommendations
For early materialization of the Add-On Project for Nasiriyah Gas Turbine Power Station, it is highly
recommended that the following issues are considered and well followed up by MOE.
 Construction of Nasiriyah Gas Turbine Power Station (simple cycle) in timely manner
 Sending official request to Japanese side to utilize Japanese financing scheme (i.e. JBIC
Buyer’s Credit Scheme)
 Following-up with related authorities to obtain necessary permits and approvals for
Add-On Project
 Following-up with related authorizes for the EIA in accordance with Iraqi law and
regulations
 Following-up with the EIA in accordance with JBIC guideline in case JBIC Buyer’s Credit
Scheme is applied
