Abu Dhabi Power Corporation (ADPower) and Japan-based Marubeni Corporation have formed a consortium to develop the Fujairah F3 independent power producer (IPP) project, which will be the largest independent thermal power plant in the UAE

The Fujairah F3 IPP project includes the development, financing, construction, operation, maintenance and ownership of a combined cycle gas turbine (CCGT) power plant, together with associated infrastructure.

Located in the Fujairah water and electricity complex, between the existing Fujairah F1 and Fujairah F2 water and electricity plants, the Fujairah F3 IPP project will have a contracted power capacity of 2.4GW, bringing ADPower?s current power generation capacity to 20.4GW.

To mark the occasion, a ceremony was held at the headquarters of Emirates Water and Electricity Company (EWEC), where the project?s power purchase agreement (PPA) and shareholders? agreement were signed.

Through this project, the government of Abu Dhabi will indirectly own a 60 per cent stake, while the remaining 40 per cent will be owned by Marubeni Corporation. The construction of the Fujairah F3 IPP project, which is the largest CCGT power plant in the UAE?s current fleet, is expected to commence swiftly to enable EWEC to procure early power by summer 2022 and full generation by summer 2023. Once operational, Fujairah F3?s capacity will be able to power the equivalent of 380,000 households.

Jasim Husain Thabet, CEO and Managing Director of ADPower, said, ?Our ambition is to transform Abu Dhabi?s water and electricity sector into a reliable, efficient, sustainable and value-generating system that optimises our robust portfolio of assets and creates unique partnership opportunities.?

Othman Al Ali, CEO of EWEC, added, ?The Fujairah F3 IPP project will apply one of the most efficient and advanced CCGT technologies available in the region, producing more energy that aligns with the UAE Energy Strategy 2050?s CO2 emissions reduction targets. It will play a strategic role in the growth and development of the UAE, providing secure and reliable power to match the needs of consumers in Abu Dhabi and the UAE.?

In early 2019, EWEC received 30 expressions of interest from potential bidders for the Fujairah F3 IPP project, of which 20 were qualified to bid after submitting statements of qualification. The project received six bids which were opened in October at EWEC?s headquarters in Abu Dhabi.
