RFP Issued for 2.5 GW Independent Power Producer Project in UAE
Emirates Water and Electricity Company (EWEC), has issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) for the development of the Taweelah C Independent Power Producer (IPP) project, a Combined Cycle Gas Turbine (CCGT) plant located in the Al Taweelah Power and Desalination Complex, approximately 50 km to the North East of the Emirate of Abu Dhabi, UAE.
It will involve the development, financing, construction, operation, maintenance, and ownership of the plant, with the successful developer or developer consortium owning up to 40% of the entity. The remaining equity will be held indirectly by the Abu Dhabi Government. The project will primarily provide transitional capacity to support the integration of large-scale renewable energy and provide additional flexibility during periods of peak power demand.
Expected to begin commercial operations in Q3 2028, Taweelah C’s efficient natural gas turbine technology will generate up to 2.5 GW (AC). Responses to the RFP are expected in Q4 2024.
