2013年完成的1,250兆瓦Al Khairat动力装置（在伊拉克建造的最大的）中，不仅会使战争射击的国家的电力产量增加20％，而且标志着仅有500万公民的关键社会里程碑电源访问。
Iraq needs at least 14,000 MW to meet the high demand for energy but currently produces less than half, said one online news report.
With the new plant in operation, seven cities in the Karbala region were set to gain reliable power for at least 20 hours a day. Power shortages cost Iraq's economy as much as $40 billion year, according to a recent power-ministry study.
该项目始于2011年，包括安装10个燃气涡轮发电机和连续的排放监控设备，以及相关的基础设施，例如电力变电站，小型炼油厂，水和废水处理设施。
据项目参与者称，该工厂旨在根据可用性使用三种不同类型的燃料运行。ÇalıkEnerji总经理OsmanSaimDinç表示：“这为电力供应提供了灵活性和可持续性。”
参与者在采购材料和管理高峰时达到2300的劳动力方面面临后勤挑战。经济学家的一篇文章说，在数十年的制裁和战争中，许多工程师逃离了该国。
With company participants from countries that included Turkey, Iraq, Turkmenistan, Syria, India, Korea, Germany, France, Peru, Ireland, Italy and the U.S., the project team says obtaining visas in time was a challenge, as was communication and differing cultural patterns within the workforce.

Unexpected heavy rains and sandstorms during the spring season also took a toll on site activity, according to Çalık Enerji. "One of the biggest challenges was to provide a secure environment to overcome the threats that might have come from outside or inside the project," says Çalık Enerji's Dinç.
他补充说，项目团队与当地的谢赫斯和其他社区领导人保持着牢固的关系。项目团队称，没有安全事件。
Adherence to strict safety rules generated a recordable injury rate of just 0.34 and a lost-time injury frequency rate of 0.28, says the team submission. Medical care and fire emergency support were available 24 hours a day.
首席执行官帕特里克·克朗（Patrick Krons）在2011年表示，该项目以及伊拉克较小的尼纳瓦动力装置的工作是阿尔斯通在该国最大的合同。
GE's gas turbines at Al Khairat are among 56 the electricity ministry purchased from the firm in 2008, a ministry official told Reuters.
根据其网站，ÇalıkEnerji也完成了，去年秋天是伊拉克摩苏尔的750兆瓦动力装置，并于今年早些时候宣布，这是前苏联共和国230兆瓦Gardabani联合循环动力装置的建设。佐治亚州，它是近年来最大的能源投资之一。
The firm also announced plans to build a 542-MW facility in Khoms, Libya, about 120 km from the capital of Tripoli. Its contract there also includes 12 years of plant operation and maintenance.
