Shanghai Electric Group Co. Ltd. has commenced work on the Euphrates Combined Cycle Expansion Project in Iraq. Under the project, Shanghai Electric will upgrade power plants across the governorates of Najaf, Karbala, Babylon, and Al-Qadisiyyah by converting simple-cycle units into combined-cycle systems. The expansion will add a total capacity of 625 megawatts and is expected to increase overall plant efficiency by approximately 50%, generating an additional 5 billion kilowatt-hours of electricity annually without increasing fuel consumption. The project aims to alleviate electricity shortages in Iraq and has received attention from the Iraqi government and public.
