A kick-off meeting was held on 18 May for the Jebel Ali power and desalination project. The meeting came after the four engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) contractors selected by Dubai Electricity & Water Authority (DEWA) signed a consortium agreement to carry out the estimated $770 million scheme. Thestation will have capacity of 650-700 MW and 70 million gallons a day (MEED 2:5:03).
The consortium partners are:
A Japanese group headed by Toshiba Corporationand supported by Mitsubishi Corporation, which will undertake the power island. The value of its contract is AED 1,545 million ($421 million);
Italy's Fisia Italimpianti, which is the desalination contractor. The value of its contract is AED 1,034 million ($282 million);
Paris-based Alstom T&D, the 400-kV substation contractor. The value of its contract is AED 207 million ($56 million);
The local Emirates Trading Agency (ETA), for the 400-kV transmission line contractor. The value of its contract is AED 36 million ($10 million).
The contract values are for the definitive works only. These may increase if DEWA decides to exercise certain options. The consortium is headed by the EPC power island contractor.
Thestation, to be located to the south of the G plant, is scheduled to be commissioned in the first half of 2005. At a later date, a second-phase expansion is planned which will see capacity doubled.
