Mitsubishi Power Wins Gas Turbine Order for Qatar’s Facility E IWPP Project

14 Jan Mitsubishi Power Wins Gas Turbine Order for Qatar’s Facility E IWPP Project

(Oilandgaspress) Mitsubishi Power, a power solutions brand of Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd. (MHI), announced today that it has been awarded a contract in cooperation with Samsung C&T Engineering & Construction Group, an Engineering, Procurement, and Construction (EPC) contractor appointed by Ras Abu Fontas Power Company, and in partnership with Qatar General Electricity and Water Corporation (KAHRAMAA). This involves supplying advanced gas turbine technology for Qatar’s Facility E Independent Water and Power Project (IWPP). The project will be powered by Mitsubishi Power’s cutting-edge M701JAC gas turbines, renowned for their reliability, efficiency, and hydrogen readiness.

Facility E IWPP, located in the Ras Abu Fontas area, approximately 25 kilometers south of Doha, will serve as a critical infrastructure asset for Qatar. The plant will contribute a combined 2.4 GW of electricity, representing around 20% of Qatar’s national grid capacity, and will provide 495,000 tons per day of desalinated water, helping meet the country’s growing power and water demand. The project aligns with Qatar’s ambitious National Vision 2030 and its decarbonization strategy to reduce carbon emissions and increase reliance on cleaner energy sources.

This milestone marks the first deployment of Mitsubishi Power’s M701JAC gas turbines in Qatar, a technology that supports the country’s ongoing shift toward sustainable, low-carbon power generation. With a flexible operating profile and the ability to co-fire hydrogen, these turbines will play a crucial role in stabilizing Qatar’s electricity power grid.

In addition to supplying the turbines, Mitsubishi Power signed a long-term service agreement with Ras Abu Fontas Power Company for the provision of parts, repairs and services, to ensure high availability and sustained reliability and performance of the Facility E project throughout its operational life.
The Facility E project is expected to begin operations in 2028, significantly contributing to Qatar’s energy security and helping the country achieve its strategic sustainability and growth objectives
