This landmark project is presently the largest Independent Water & Power Project (IWPP) in the State of Qatar which consists of three gas turbines, two steam turbines, four distillers, related pipelines and infrastructure.

The engineering, procurement and construction contract was awarded by the Consortium to Germany's Siemens AG who have supplied equipment for electricity production and Korea's Doosan who have supplied the equipment for water production. The equipment and technology is the latest and state of the art with V94.3A(4) Gas Turbines and Doosan's 15 MIGD (MSF) Distillers. The project is in line with the continual and fast increasing demand of the power and water in Qatar which has one of the fastest growing economies in the world. The Plant is operated only by sweet, environment friendly natural gas, of which Qatar has the third largest reserves in the world, supplied by QatarEnergy.

The project started commercial production of power in May 2006 and water in September 2006. As scheduled, we achieved full capacity in June 2008.
