Advisory bids due by 21 February
Oman Power & Water Company (OPWP) has issued a request for proposals (RFP) to consultants for a reverse osmosis desalination plant at Al-Ghubra.
The winning team will provide legal, financial and technical advisory services for the independent water project (IWP). The bid deadline is 21 February.
The project was originally to be developed as an independent water and power project (IWPP). A UK-based consortium of Ernst & Young, DLA Piper and British Power International was appointed to advise on Al-Ghubrah IWPP.
However, the power component of the project was dropped in June due to environmental concerns associated with the site. The IWPP advisory team was transferred to the Sur IPP in July.
The water desalination-only plant is expected to have a capacity of around 42 million gallons a day.
The reverse osmosis plant will help the sultanate to meet growing water demand requirements in the Muscat region.
