remaining units at the Ghubrah desalination plant in 2018.

OPWP will also consider the potential for contract

extension of the Barka I desalination plant at this time (193,200 m3/d in total, or 43 MIGD).
For the Sur Zone, the principal developments include: (1) the WPA for the existing Sur IWP is expected to be
novated from PAEW to OPWP, and (2) OPWP plans to procure an extension to the Sur IWP with capacity of
50,000 m3/d (11 MIGD) for COD in late 2015.
In Salalah, DGW projects water demand to grow at 8%, and peak water demand to increase from 75,000 m3/d
in 2013 to 132,000 m3/d in 2020. On this basis, the Salalah IWPP, with capacity 68,190 m3/d (15 MIGD), is
already at maximum output and demand exceeds the available supply of desalinated water. There are
sufficient groundwater resources available to meet requirements for several years, and OPWP expects to
consult with DGW in 2014 with respect to capacity additions for desalinated water.
PAEW has requested OPWP to procure desalination capacity to serve Ad Duqm and Musandam. The Duqm
IWP is planned for late 2017 with capacity of 30,000 m3/d (7 MIGD). The Musandam IWP is planned for late
2015 at Khasab with capacity of about 13,000 m3/d (3 MIGD).

Procurement Activities
In 2014, OPWP expects the following procurement activities for the MIS: (1) to execute contract extensions to
2020 with the owners of the Al Kamil, Barka I, Wadi Jizzi, and Ghubrah power plants for all or a portion of
capacity associated with expiring contracts; (2) to issue the tender for a new IPP with capacity in the range of
2600 to 2850 MW; (3) to contract for an additional 50,000 m3/d (11 MIGD) desalination capacity at Sur; (4) to
contract for a new 200,000 m3/d (44 MIGD) desalination plant at Qurayyat; and (5) to issue the tender for a
new IWP with capacity of 225,000 m3/d (50 MIGD) at As Suwayq.
For Salalah, OPWP plans to issue a tender in Q1 2014 for the Salalah 2 IPP, with a capacity range of 300-400
MW. OPWP also plans to work closely with DGW to define requirements for additional desalination capacity
which may result in an IWP procurement in the near future.
OPWP also expects in 2014 to contract for the Musandam IPP, at about 100 MW net capacity, and to initiate
procurement for both the Khasab IWP at 13,000 m3/d (3 MIGD) and the Duqm IWP at 30,000 m3/d (6 MIGD).

Fuel Requirements
In the MIS, efficiency improvements in the generation fleet are expected to limit growth in fuel requirements
to 6% per year through 2020, despite nearly 10% growth in electricity production. OPWP achieved a reduction
in gas use from 2012 to 2013, due to new, high efficient plant. Total gas consumption by the main power and
desalination plants is projected to increase from 6.7 billion Sm3 in 2013 to 9.9 billion Sm3 in 2020.
In Salalah, gas requirements are projected to increase at 8% per year, reaching 1.2 billion Sm3 by 2020 as
power requirements grow rapidly at about 10% per year.
