카타르 수전력공사(Kahramaa)가 하루 59만㎥ 규모의 담수화 시설과 2.4GW 규모 가스전력스테이션으로 구성된 수·전력 플랜트 시공사업에 미쓰비시와 도쿄전력공사(Tepco)의 일본 컨소시엄인 K1 Energy를 선정했다. 이 플랜트는 카타르 도하에서 남쪽으로 20㎞ 떨어진 Umm Al Houl에 지어질 예정이다.

까르마(Kahramaa)는 또한 K1과 25년 기간의 수전력 구매 협정에 서명했다. 이 협정은 2014년 5월 까르마가 발주한 국제 입찰에 따른 것이다.

 

 

 

Qatar General Electricity and Water Corporation (Kahramaa) has selected a Japanese consortium of Mitsubishi Corporation and Tokyo Electric Power Company (Tepco), named K1 Energy, to build an electricity and water plant comprising a 590,000 m³/d desalination facility and a 2.4 GW gas-fired power station at Umm Al Houl, 20km south of the city of Doha. 

 

Kahramaa has also signed a 25-year power and water purchase agreement with K1. The agreement followed an international tender issued by Kahramaa in May 2014.

 

Kahramaa will sign the final agreement for the project with a special purpose company comprising K1 Energy, Qatar Electricity and Water, Qatar Petroleum (QP) and Qatar Foundation (QF).

 

Mitsubishi holds 98.5% of K1 with the rest owned by Tepco. QEWC will hold a 60% stake in the new plant with K1 taking 30% interest and QP and QF each having 5%.

 

Power and water production at the plant are expected to start commercial operations in 2017. The project has been planned to meet the increasing power and water demands in the country arising from its steady economic growth.
