Technical description

The Fujairah F2 IWPP will have an installed power capacity of 2,000 MW and it will produce 591,500 cubic meter of water per day.[2] GT26 heavy-duty gas turbines to the power plant will be distributed by Alstom, while the desalination plant will be built by Sidem.[3]

For the water desalination, the plant will use a combination of two different desalination technologies. 455,000 cubic meter of water per day will be produced using multiple-effect distillation (MED) technology and 136,500 cubic meter of water per day is produced using reverse osmosis technology (RO).[4] The project is expected to be operational by the end of 2010 and it is expected to cost US$2.8 billion.[5][6]

Operating company

The plant will be owned by the Fujairah Asia Power Company (FAPCO), established on 23 October 2007. The shareholders of FAPCO are:

The plant will be operated by Fujairah F2 O&M Company Limited, an equal based venture between International Power and Marubeni.[2] The Reverse Osmosis plant will be operated by Veolia Water.[4][7]
