The Saudi company ACWA Power announced on Sunday the start of commercial operation of the Hassyan Power Complex, which has a capacity of 2,400 megawatts.
In a disclosure published on the Saudi Stock Exchange (Tadawul), the company received the commercial operation certificate from the Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (DEWA).
The last 600 MW power unit followed three other 600 MW units that had previously begun commercial operations.
The Hassyan Power Complex project in Dubai is one of the largest power stations in the region.
The project comprises four GE/Alstom 600 MW power units gross of ultra-supercritical boilers, steam turbines, and generators.
The plant was initially designed to operate on coal, but subsequently, based on a decision by DEWA, the off-taker, with the blessing of the Chairman of the Dubai Supreme Council of Energy on 2nd February 2022, it was switched to operate on natural gas.
It will avoid approximately 30 million tons of CO2 emissions by 2030.
The project specifications require the plant to be constructed carbon capture ready, meaning that the installation of carbon capture equipment in the future should be without the need for any modification to the plant or hinder the plant availability.
ACWA Power owns 26.95 percent of the Hassyan Power Complex.
The company said that the financial impact of operating the project at total operational capacity is expected to become clear starting from the last quarter of this year.
