Shuqaiq IWPP - Owners Engineer Services

Implementation of a 850 MW and 47 MIGD independent power and water project on a BOO basis at Shuqaiq in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The project represents a major development in Saudi Arabia's water and power sector to help satisfy the increasing national demand for power and water.
The Shuqaiq phase II project will be developed as a greenfield Arabian heavy crude oil-fired power and seawater desalination plant located on land at Shuqaiq, 105 km south of Abha and 140 km north of Jizan, on the western coast of Saudi Arabia. The proposed site is located next to the existing Shuqaiq Phase I (128 MW and 26 MIGD).
The plant will be built, owned and operated by the project company and upon award of the contract the client will sell power and water for 20 years to the Water and Electricity Company (WEC) on a PWPA basis (Power and Water Purchase Agreement).
Shuqaiq is the second of four Independent Water and Power Projects (IWPPs) in the KSA. The other three projects are Shuaibah IWPP, for which ILF performed Technical Advisor Services from the RFP issue until financial close, Raz Azzour and Jubail IWPP Projects.
