Abu Dhabi National Energy Co. (TAQA) and Japan’s JERA signed an agreement with Saudi Aramco Total Refining and Petrochemical Co. (SATORP) to develop a steam and electricity cogeneration plant that will power the Amiral petrochemical complex.
The petrochemical complex is expected to house one of the largest mixed-load steam crackers in the GCC region, and has provision for the future installation of a carbon dioxide capture plant and is capable of hydrogen cofiring.
The Amiral cogeneration plant will be developed by a special purpose vehicle (SPV), which is 51% owned by TAQA and 49% owned by JERA, on a 25-year build, own, and operate basis extendable by five years. The companies will also undertake the operation and maintenance (O&M) of the plant through an O&M special purpose entity.
Likely to be operational in 2027, the cogeneration plant will supply up to 475MW of power and 452 tons per hour of steam from advanced combined cycle gas-fired technology.
