Move to bundle Dhofar Power with new Salalah IPP

Oman Power and Water Procurement Company (OPWP), the sole procurer of all new power generation and water desalination capacity in the Sultanate, has notified prospective investors that the development of a new Independent Power Project (IPP) in Salalah is expected to be bundled with the assets of the existing Dhofar Power Company (DPC).

Eight prominent international utilities have sought to prequalify for a competitive tender for the development of the new power project — dubbed Salalah-2 IPP — at Raysut in Dhofar Governorate. The successful bidder will be granted a 20-year license to develop, finance, design, engineer, construct, own, operate and maintain a gas-fired power station of between 200 — 400 megawatt capacity.

The Salalah-2 IPP will be established adjacent to the existing power station of Dhofar Power Company (DPC), which is majority owned by the Electricity Holding Company SAOC. Dhofar Power operates the governorate’s first gas-based power project — a 250-MW facility that was commissioned in May 2003.
