Memorandum of Understanding signed with Iraqi government to develop electric production capacity in Iraq

Patrick Kron, Chief Executive Officer of
Alstom, today signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the
Minister of Oil and Electricity, Hussein Sharestani, in the
presence of Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri Al-Maliki, for the
development and modernisation of Iraqs electricity
infrastructure. The agreement covers three major projects.

• The first project involves the turnkey supply of a power
  plant at Bassorah in southern Iraq, which covers engineering,
  procurement and construction. The power plant will consist of
  three oil-fired steam units, each with an output of 400 MW. The
  project also includes the supply of 400 kV and 132 kV gas
  insulated substations (GIS).
• The second project concerns the rehabilitation of the
  gas-fired power plant at Najaf, consisting of three GT13D gas
  turbines, with an overall output of 180 MW.
• The third project focuses on the supply and supervision of
  400 kV GIS substations and 132 kV GIS & AIS (Air Insulated
  Substations) in various locations in Iraq.

In the coming weeks, Alstom will enter into exclusive
discussions with the relevant Iraqi authorities for the practical
implementation of these projects.
