Dubai: Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (Dewa) said yesterday it has signed contracts worth Dh12 billion with local and foreign firms for six electricity generation and water desalination projects.

The deals also involve work on water reservoirs, substations and a pipeline, the authority said.

Dewa managing director and chief executive officer Saeed Mohammad Al Tayer said the new projects will allow the utility provider to cater to rising demand.

By 2020, Dewa's target is to have 20,000 megawatts (MW) of power and 1,000 million gallons of water capacity.

One contract is for the construction of a power and desalination plant at Jebel Ali called 'M Station'.

The M Station package is a combined cycle cogeneration power plant at the cost of Dh6.2 billion.

It comprises six Siemens gas turbines, six Doosan heat recovery steam generators and three Alstom steam turbines. The plant will produce 2,000 MW of electricity when completed around the middle of 2010.

The desalination package shall consist of eight desalination units, each with an output of 17.5 million gallons per day, and four boilers with a total output of 140 million gallons. The project is scheduled for completion in June 2010. The third contract is for the construction of a 20-inch diesel fuel oil (DFO) pipeline from Jebel Ali Free Zone to Aweer Power Station. It will cost Dh155 million.

The scope of work for the project includes all mechanical, civil, cooling, and protection and leak detection systems.

Mushrif project

Another project involves construction of a water reservoir at Mushrif with a storage capacity of 180 million gallons. The Dh620 million contract includes all civil and mechanical work. The reservoir project is expected to be completed by April 2009.

The fifth contract is for the construction of two 400/132 kV substations at Barsha and Nad Al Sheba for a total of Dh816 million.

These facilities are expected to operational by the end of 2009.

Dewa also awarded a contract for a 400/132 kV transformer station at Techno Park to supply electricity the industrial zone and other areas like Dubai Industrial City, Jebel Ali and Airport City. This project will be completed by February 2010.

Green move: New power unit soon

Dubai recently signed a memorandum of understanding with three foreign companies to build its first independent power plant. The $6-billion plant will use fuel from synthetic gas produced through the coal gasification process.

The companies part of the plan are Sino Global International, Skyline Services Group, and Samena Power and Energy Limited. The process to produce fuel will be conducted at facilities in the US.

A contract is expected to be signed later this year. It will be completed in 2011 and generate 2,000 MW of electricity.

"It will provide clean energy and diversify our power production," Al Tayer said.

Dewa will be the sole customer for the plant's output. Final negotiations for the project are yet to be conducted and Al Tayer said Dewa could become a partner in the project.
