"ABB’s domain expertise in the power generation sector was key for winning this project," said Samir Brikho, head of ABB’s Power Systems division. "With a complete portfolio for the electrical balance of plant we are a leading system and component supplier to power plants."

ABB電力系統部主管Samir Brikho表示：“ABB在發電領域的絕對技術優勢是贏得這個合同的關鍵。通過對發電站電力平衡的完整組合，我們是領先的發電站系統和組件供應商。”

The power station, designed to produce 550 megawatts of electricity and 40 million gallons of water from a desalination plant, will be operated for 25 years by Qatar General Electricity & Water Corp., known locally as Kahramaa. The contract is scheduled to be completed next February, in time to meet peak demand for water and electricity during the Gulf state’s arid summer.

該發電站的設計發電量為550兆瓦特，以及生產來自一個脫鹽工廠的四千萬加侖的淡水，這個發電站將由在當地被人稱為Kahramaa的卡塔爾通用水電公司運營25年。該項目計劃在明年二月份完工，以及時滿足這個海灣國家的干旱夏天對水電的極度需求。

ABB has won earlier contracts at a neighboring plant, including an order for the installation of instruments for turbines. Electricity generation in Qatar more than doubled in the decade through 2004 and water production has increased 60 percent, fueled by economic growth.

ABB在早前曾贏得了附近一個工廠的合同，包括一個渦輪所用儀器的安裝合同。為了經濟發展的需要，在2004年，卡塔爾的發電量在過去的十年里翻了一番，而淡水產量也增加了60% 。
