Sembcorp's JV completes US$1b acceptance tests for Oman plant


Sembcorp Industries on Monday said its joint venture company, Sembcorp Salalah Power and Water Company, has successfully completed the acceptance tests for its US$1 billion Salalah Independent Water and Power Plant (Salalah IWPP) in Oman.

The Salalah IWPP consists of a gas-fired power plant with a total gross capacity of 490 megawatts and a seawater desalination plant with a total water production capacity of 15 million imperial gallons (69,000 cubic metres) per day.

It is the largest and most energy-efficient power and water plant in Dhofar in southern Oman, and is expected to play a major role in meeting the growing power and water demand of this region.

The facility will provide power and water under a 15-year power and water purchase agreement with the Oman Power and Water Procurement Company, which is wholly-owned by the Government of Oman.
