The ¥60 billion EPC-plus-Finance contract was signed on February 2018 under a buyer's credit agreement (export loan) between the Iraqi Ministry of Finance and The Japan Bank for International Cooperation (JBIC), with a co-financed portion by The Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi UFJ, Ltd. (lead arranger) and Sumitomo-Mitsui Banking Corporation under insurance cover by from Japan’s Nippon Export and Investment Insurance (NEXI).

The substations are expected to provide power for a combined total of approximately 1.3 million households.

 

ELSEWEDY ELECTRIC, which designed and built the400/132/11kV GIS substations, qualified its engineers for testing and commissioning of GIS switchgear and transformers through an intensive training in Toshiba factories in Japan and India.

ELSEWEDY ELECTRIC relied along the project on 1,200 Iraqi engineer and technicians supported by 180 Egyptian professionals, emphasizing on a business model for all its projects in Iraq leveraging on the Iraqi workforce while providing on-job development and training programmes.

 

"Completing five major challenging projects to the esteemed Iraqi Ministry of Electricity in five years while progress is ongoing in New Babil substation targeting 2022 spring reflects our strong commitment towards Iraq infrastructure development. Our products also are supplied to Iraq since 2005 and recently we committed to develop industrial park starting by factories of ELSEWEDY ELECTRIC serving the Iraqi market with further targets to export from Iraq to neighboring markets.”, commented Ahmed Elsewedy, President and CEO of ELSEWEDY ELECTRIC S.A.E.
