About Us Project Details
      
     

The construction of the entire Taweelah B Project, previously known as Al Taweelah Power Company (ATPC), as well as the new capacity to be added as part of the EPC contract under the new management of Taweelah Asia Power Company (TAPCO), can be divided in three (3) different phases as detailed below:

 

  • Initial Taweelah B
  • Taweelah B Extension
  • Taweelah B New Extension

Commissioned between 1995 and 1997, comprises six identical units; a unit being made up of a steam raising boiler, a condensing steam turbine generator, with steam extraction to a multi-stage-flash seawater desalination distiller.
