The original plan for the Facility E IWPP was to have a power generation capacity of about 2,300MW and a desalination component of 100 million imperial gallons a day (MIGD) once fully operational.

According to industry sources, the bidders include:

  • Engie (France)/Mitsui (Japan)/Yonden (Shikoku Electric, Japan)
