Regional Supplier
Transformer Supplier in Iraq
Reliable power transformers and distribution equipment engineered for Iraq's grid rehabilitation, post-conflict reconstruction, oil & gas infrastructure, and new urban development projects.
Iraq is in the midst of a critical power infrastructure reconstruction phase. Years of underinvestment, conflict damage, and rapid urbanization have created a significant supply-demand gap — peak demand exceeds available generation by an estimated 10-12GW. The Iraqi Ministry of Electricity has embarked on an ambitious grid rehabilitation and expansion program supported by international development partners.
Ziyao Power is positioned to supply Iraq with reliable, cost-effective power transformers and distribution equipment that meet the Ministry of Electricity's technical specifications and IEC standards. Our products are designed for Iraq's 50Hz grid covering the full voltage spectrum: 11kV/33kV distribution, 132kV sub-transmission, and 400kV transmission interconnection.
For urban networks, oil and gas facilities, housing developments, and industrial zones, Ziyao Power offers S22-M oil-immersed transformers, SCB13/SCB18 dry-type units, KYN28/KYN61 MV switchgear, YB compact substations, and GCS LV panels. Technical schedules, available test records, export documents, and conformity-assessment support are prepared against the purchaser's specification and import route for each order.
Post-Conflict Grid Reconstruction
Iraq's transmission and distribution network requires comprehensive rehabilitation. Thousands of damaged or overloaded transformers need replacement across all voltage levels from 11kV to 400kV.
Oil & Gas Infrastructure Power
Iraq is OPEC's second-largest producer. Oil fields, refineries, and gas processing plants in Basra, Kirkuk, and Missan need reliable, explosion-proof transformers and switchgear for production and processing.
New Power Plant Construction
Multiple thermal and combined-cycle power plants under construction (Bismayah, Samawa, Anbar, Salahuddin) require generator step-up transformers, station service transformers, and MV/LV auxiliary power equipment.
Housing & Urban Development
Iraq's National Housing Program targets construction of hundreds of thousands of units. New residential cities (Bismayah, Basmaya, Al Rafidain) require thousands of distribution transformers and LV panels.
Industrial Revival & Free Zones
Industrial zones and free trade zones being rehabilitated or newly established require reliable power distribution — oil transformers for outdoor substations and dry-type units for factory indoor installations.
International Development Funding
World Bank, IFC, UNDP, and bilateral development funds support Iraq's power sector reconstruction. Projects with international funding require IEC-compliant equipment with transparent procurement documentation.

Q: What is the import procedure for transformers to Iraq?
Import requirements depend on the product classification, contract, destination, and current authority rules. We can prepare the commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading instructions, product technical file, and available test records. Attestation, origin documents, COSQC procedures, duties, and customs clearance must be confirmed by the importer and locally authorized providers before shipment.
Q: Do your transformers meet Iraq Ministry of Electricity specifications?
Ministry, EPC, and development-finance tenders can have different technical and documentary requirements. We can prepare a clause-by-clause compliance matrix, datasheets, available factory test records, and material documentation. Tender compliance and acceptance are only stated after the proposed model and document set have been reviewed against the issued specification.
Q: Can you supply 33/11kV power transformers for Iraq's transmission network?
Yes. We supply oil-immersed power transformers up to 2500kVA at 33kV primary, with 11kV or 400V secondary. For larger transmission-level transformers (above 2500kVA, 132kV or 400kV), we can coordinate with our partner manufacturing facilities. Contact us with your specific voltage and capacity requirements for a tailored solution.
Q: How do you handle high ambient temperatures in Iraq?
All transformers supplied to Iraq are designed for 50°C–55°C maximum ambient temperature operation. We apply appropriate temperature derating, use high-temperature insulation materials (Class F/H), and where required install forced air cooling (ONAF) or additional radiator surface area. Factory heat-run tests can be conducted at elevated ambient simulation upon request.
Q: What are your shipping routes and delivery times to Iraq?
Standard sea freight route: major China ports to Umm Qasr Port (Iraq's main deep-water port in Basra), approximately 25-30 days transit. Alternative routes through Aqaba (Jordan) or Mersin (Turkey) can support overland delivery to northern and central governorates. Door-to-door delivery including Iraqi Customs clearance and inland transport is approximately 6-8 weeks total after production. Letter of credit (L/C) payment terms are available for Iraqi buyers.
Q: Do you provide installation support in Iraq?
Yes. Our engineering team can deploy to Iraq for on-site installation supervision, commissioning, and testing. We coordinate with local Iraqi installation contractors and Ministry of Electricity inspectors. Remote technical support via video conferencing is also available. We provide Iraqi Arabic and English documentation.
Q: Can you supply to Iraqi EPC contractors and private developers?
We can support EPC contractors, private developers, oil and gas service companies, and construction firms with bid-stage technical proposals, document-gap reviews, and commercial quotations. Supply scope, local approvals, payment instruments, logistics, and site services are confirmed in writing for each project.
