by Andy Sambidge on Tuesday, 15 July 2008

POWER ON: Plans have been revealed for four new electricity plants.

Four new electricity plants with a total capacity of 740MW are to be built by the Ras Al Khaimah Government.

And plans for a 2,000MW plant to meet the needs of the emirate's future expansion are being studied, said Dr Khatir Massaad, economic advisor to the government and CEO of Ras Al Khaimah Investment Authority in an interview with UAE daily Business 24/7 on Tuesday.

The first plant at Al Hamra, with a capacity of 120MW, will become operational in November.

An 80MW plant at Al Ghail Industrial City and another with a capacity of 40MW at Al Hamra will be ready for operation in June 2009. The combined cost of both plants will be $120m. And the fourth plant, with a capacity of 500MW, is due to open in September 2010.

The plants will be entirely owned by the government, which will charge customers the same as the Federal Electricity and Water Authority.
