Agreement signed for Facility E independent water and power project in Qatar

Sumitomo Corporation, Japan, and Shikoku Electric Power Co., Inc. Japan, alongside Korea Southern Power Co., Ltd. (KOSPO) and Korea Overseas Infrastructure & Urban Development Corporation (KIND) have jointly won the rights to the Facility E independent water and power project through an international tender organized by Qatar General Electricity and Water Corporation (Kahramaa).

The four companies will jointly establish a project company with Qatar Electricity and Water Company (QEWC) and Qatar Energy (QE). The equity distribution will be as follows: Sumitomo Corporation: 17%, Shikoku Electric: 11%, KOSPO: 6%, KIND: 6%, QEWC: 55% and QE: 5%. The project involves the construction and operation of a natural gas-fired power plant (2,400 MW) and a seawater desalination facility (110 MIGD 2 (495,000 tons/day)) on the site of an old power plant located approximately 25 km south of Doha, Qatar’s capital, in the Ras Abu Fontas area.

Compared to existing gas-fired power plants, the new plant will employ high-efficiency gas turbines that consume less gas and emit lower levels of CO2 and other pollutants, contributing to stable energy supplies and decarbonization efforts in Qatar.
