"In particular, TAQA acquired an additional 10% ownership stake in the owner of the Taweelah B IWPP – Taweelah Asia Power Company, thereby increasing TAQA’s overall ownership stake in TAPCO to 70%. In addition, TAQA acquired a 25% ownership stake in Asia Gulf Power Service Company Limited (the O&M contractor to TAPCO)."
