| Project Scope |
|---|
|
The project scope involves the development of water projects at three different sites (Salalah, Sharqiyah and Duqm) in the Sultanate.
The three Independent Water Projects (IWPs), which will together add 240,000 cubic metres/day (52.6 million imperial gallons per day — MIGD) of new capacity to the country’s rapidly expanding domestic water production assets — represent the single largest procurement of water desalination capacity in the Sultanate’s modern history.
IWPs planned are as follows:
1. Salalah IWP As a water-only scheme, the project will run on electricity supplied by Dhofar Power Company under a long-term power supply agreement. Potable water produced by the new Salalah IWP will be supplied to a new reservoir to be constructed and operated by the Directorate General of Water in Dhofar Governorate. Full desalination capacity is scheduled to become available by January 1, 2019.
2. Sharqiyah IWP At Sharqiyah, a reverse osmosis based seawater desalination plant of 80,000 m3 per day (17.6 MIGD) capacity has been planned. The plant is proposed to be developed adjoining the existing complex of Sharqiyah Desalination Company, 10 km north of Al Ashkharah. Development is envisioned in two stages, with an early phase of 40,000 m3 per day capacity to be brought into operation by May 1, 2019, and full commercial operations targeted by May 1, 2020.
3. Duqm IWP
Significantly, water demand in the northern half of the Sultanate (encompassing the Interconnected Zone and Sharqiyah Zone) is projected to grow at the rate of 6 per cent annually, from 226 million m3 in 2015 to 328 million m3 in 2021. Part of this demand growth is being met by the addition of 48,000 m3/day (10.6 MIGD) of capacity at the Sur IWP, which will come on stream in Q3 2016.
In Dhofar Governorate, water demand growth is projected at 8 per cent, with peak water demand set to increase from 88,000 m3/day in 2015 to 143,000 m3/day in 2021. In Duqm, where the region’s potable water requirements are met by a diesel-based desalination plant operated by the Rural Areas Electricity Company (RAECO), demand growth is expected to spiral when a number of major anchor projects, as well as a new city, are completed over the next 5 – 10 years. |
| Project Structure: |
| The project is owned, operated and managed by Oman Power and Water Procurement Company (OPWP), which oversees the procurement of all new electricity generation and water desalination capacity in the Sultanate. |
