Plant is planned to meet demand in the years following 2020
Qatar General Electricity & Water Corporation (Kahramaa) has invited developers to submit prequalification documents for its next major new independent water and power project (IWPP).
Developers have until 25 September to submit prequalification documents for the proposed IWPP, which will have a power generation capacity of between 2,000-2,500MW and a desalination capacity of between 100 and 130 million imperial gallons a day (MIGD).
MEED reported in February that Kahramaa had selected advisers for the Facility E IWPP. The appointed advisory consortium contains the UKs EY as financial consultant, Finlands Poyry as technical consultant and the UKs DLA Piper as legal adviser.
Facility E is planned to meet demand in the years following 2020, with the Facility D IWPP currently under construction.
In 2015, a consortium of Japans Mitsubishi Corporation and Tokyo Electric Power Company (Tepco) was awarded a contract to develop the $3bn Facility D IWPP in Qatar Economic Zone, about 15 kilometres south of Doha. The plant will have a total power capacity of 2.5GW and a desalination capacity of 136 MIGD.
First power from the scheme is expected in 2017, with the whole facility scheduled to come online in 2018. The IWPP will be located in the Qatar Economic Zone (QEZ) near Mesaieed.
South Koreas Samsung C&T was awarded the $1.8bn deal to build the Facility D IWPP in July 2015. The contract covers engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) of a 2.5GW combined-cycle power plant.
Japans Hitachi Zosen will carry out the desalination EPC works, with Spains Acciona Agua as a subcontractor.
In October 2015, Germanys Siemens was awarded a contract to provide turbines and generators for Facility D.
