Qatar Electricity and Water said it will launch construction of a 10 billion riyal ($2.75 billion) power and water desalination plant in October, the largest of its kind in the country.
The plant, called Umm al Houl Power, will have a production capacity of 2,520 megawatts of electricity and 136 million gallons of drinking water per day.
QEWC owns 60 percent of the project, while other stakeholders include state-owned Qatar Petroleum and Qatar Foundation.
