The new AED 2.1 bn expansion to the 1 GW Al Layyah power and desalination plant in Sharjah is now online<\/strong> after Sheikh Sultan Al Qasimi inaugurated the project yesterday, state news agency WAM<\/a> reports. The plant constitutes 40% of Sharjah\u2019s current electricity grid output. <\/p>\n

More on the plant: <\/strong>Al Layyah project has a dual gas turbine with 345 MW capacity, two heat waste recovery boilers, and a steam turbine with 336 MW capacity. The plant is supposed to produce 1,026 MW worth of energy and has an operational efficiency of 58%. It is expected to reduce 2.2 tons of carbon emissions annually. <\/p>\n

The contractors:<\/strong>Mitsubishi<\/a> installed the M701F gas turbines mid-2022 and Egypt\u2019s ElSewedy<\/a>Electric<\/a> installed the steam turbine just recently. In 2019, both those companies were awarded USD 550 mn EPC contract for this project. <\/p>\n

Who financed the project?<\/strong> The Japan Bank for International Cooperation, Soci\u00e9t\u00e9 G\u00e9n\u00e9rale, ING Bank and Standard Chartered Bank provided the funds for Al Layyah station, with Japanese state-owned Nippon Export and Investment Insurance (NEXI) providing the insurance cover, according to Power Technology<\/a>. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
