Gas-rich Qatar has signed deals to build a US$3.8 billion-dollar desalination and power plant.
The company will be jointly owned by the Qatar Electricity and Water Company (45 percent), a consortium of Japan's Mitsui and France's Suez Energy International (40 percent) and Qatar Petroleum (15 percent).
The facility will be completed in 2011 with eight gas turbine generators, eight heat recovery steam generators, four steam turbine generators and 10 desalination units.
Once the new power station is on line, Qatar will have a total power generating capacity of 9,000 megawatts and a desalination capacity of more than 1.4 billion litres per day.
