   Mosul Substation Expansion to Benefit Millions

Work is estimated to be completed in about one year at an estimated cost of $29 million 
                      and will be performed by Iraqi subcontractors.

BAGHDAD, Iraq, Sept. 30, 2005 � A substation expansion
project in Mosul will increase the existing capacity of the 400 kV
Mosul substation to allow for an additional 400 kV transmission line
between Mosul and Baghdad. The Mosul substation expansion is a
critical, electric grid system element to increase the amount of
available power to the entire country. The expansion provides the
capacity to distribute power more reliably, thereby affecting six
million people. 
The project serves a dual purpose. It will
efficiently distribute an estimated 2,000 MW of power from the northern
to the central regions and it will allow connection and transmission of
power from Turkey. This project has the potential for increased
transmission capacity of 2,000 MW and the addition of an average of two
hours of power nationwide.

Work is estimated to be completed in about one year at an estimated
cost of $29 million and will be performed by Iraqi subcontractors. The
expanded substation will be operated and maintained by the Iraqi
Ministry of Electricity. Included in the work will be operations and
maintenance training and one year of spare parts. 

The project is part of an ongoing effort by the Minister of
Electricity, Dr. Mohsen Shlash, to continue to improve Iraqi's
electrical power infrastructure.
