Sembcorp says it has started construction of its US$1 billion ($1.4 billion) Salalah Independent Water and Power Plant (Salalah IWPP) in Oman.
Targeted to begin full commercial operations in the first half of 2012, the Salalah IWPP will consist of a gas-fired power plant which will have a net capacity of 445 megawatts and a seawater desalination plant which will employ reverse osmosis technology to produce 15 million imperial gallons per day of water.
