Qatar General Electricity & Water Corporation (Kahramaa) has received a proposal from one bidder for the 2.5 GW Facility E independent water and power project (IWPP).

Kahramaa had asked three bidders to submit alternative proposals for a larger capacity project (2.6 GW) as part of the tender process for the Facility E IWPP. Only the consortium formed by Marubeni and Kyuden International submitted an alternative proposal by the deadline, November 15. 

In addition to the 2,300-2,600MW power generation capacity, the PPP project will have a desalination capacity of 100 million imperial gallons a day (MIGD). The Facility E IWPP is the first cogeneration project that Qatar has proceeded with since it commissioned the Facility D IWPP in 2018.
