Gulf News reported that the Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (DEWA) is planning to build one of the world's largest power and desalination complexes.The new plant will be capable of producing 9,000 megawatts of electricity and 600 million gallons a day of desalinated water. The planned mega-complex will sit next to Dubai World Central, intended to be the world's largest airport, and the giant Jebel Ali port and free zone, where most of the emirate's power generation capacity of about 5,000 megawatts is presently located. DEWA awarded contracts in March worth $1.7 billion to South Korea's Doosan Heavy Industries and Construction andthe Fisia Italimpianti to build a new 1,330-megawatt power and 70-million gallon-a-day water desalination plant in Jebel Ali.
