The Al Duqm IWPP is currently on the books as the first coal-fired power plant in the GCC. If it goes ahead the proposed plant is expected to have an electricity capacity of 1 000 MW. Legal, financial and technical advisory tenders have all been issued. A Request for Proposal for the main construction contract is expected in the second quarter of 2010. Evaluation of the proposals and the subsequent award of contracts are expected in the final quarter of 2010. The plant is not expected to start commercial operation until 2015 at the earliest. The rising price of gas, as well as supply and demand issues drove the decision to look at coal as Oman looks to diversify its electricity generation fuel sources.
Estimated value: US $2 billion
