Summary
Umm Al Houl Power (UAHP), a special purpose company formed by Qatar Electricity & Water Co. (QEWC), K1 Energy, Qatar Foundation (QF) and Qatar Petroleum (QP) is undertaking the construction of an Independent Water and Power Plant in Umm Al Houl, Qatar.
K1 Energy is a consortium formed by Mitsubishi Corporation (Mitsubishi) and Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO).
The project involves the construction of a power plant to generate 2,520MW of electricity, and a desalination plant with a capacity of 620,541m3 per day of potable water.
The project will include the construction of a powerhouse, a substation and other related facilities, the installation of turbines, transformers and generators, and the laying of transmission lines.
The desalination plant will use a hybrid desalination system composed of two different desalination processes: MSF (Multi-Stage Flash), which is an evaporation process; and RO (Reverse Osmosis), which is a membrane process.
Kahramaa (Qatar General Electricity & Water Corporation) has contracted a special purpose company (SPC), Umm Al Houl Power, to construct the Facility and sell electricity and water for a period of 25 years following the completion of construction.
PricewaterhouseCoopers and Shearman & Sterling LLP as the financial advisor and Mott MacDonald have been appointed as environmental consultant.
