Baghdad Bismayah (Bismaya) combined-cycle power plant is being developed by Iraq’s Ministry of Electricity, approximately 25km south-east of the Baghdad city. With a capacity of 3,000MW, the new plant is estimated to cost $4.5bn and will power more than five million homes in Iraq.

Development of the power plant is part of the Bismayah New City project, which is aimed at rebuilding conflict-ridden and war-torn Iraq. The Bismayah New City project includes the construction of more than 100,000 homes in addition to all the necessary infrastructure such as roads, water and sewerage facilities, power plants and desalination facilities.

The plant is being developed in two phases of 1,500MW each, due to limited gas allocation. It is scheduled to commence operations with a simple cycle phase in October 2016, while full operations are expected to commence in October 2017.
