AVAX Group announced the signing of a contract with Mass Group Holding (MGH) for the study, construction and operation of a 282MW open cycle power plant in Iraq, a project with a total budget of 82 million dollars.

The new facility will be built in the Bismayah area of ​​Baghdad, Iraq and construction will take twelve (12) months and is expected to begin immediately.

The company says the unit will run on natural gas, will consist of a General Electric 9F.04 gas turbine and will be designed with the possibility of future conversion from open to combined cycle and further increase both the load produced and the relative efficiency.

This is the 3rd power generation unit assigned to AVAX at the Bismayah Power Station and will be delivered in the summer of 2025. In continuation of the two previous projects of Phase 2 and 3 of the Power Generation Station in the city of Bismayah, Iraq, as well as the ongoing project of the Mintia Power Plant in Romania, the commissioning of the new unit seals the leading presence of the AVAX Group in major energy projects of international scope and renews once again the relationship of trust between the MGH and AVAX groups.

The AVAX Group remains committed to high-performance projects which at the same time highlight the reliability and high level of know-how it possesses over time.
