The Az-Zour North one gas-fired combined cycle power and water plant is located at
Az-Zour, approximately 100km south of Kuwait City.
The power plant was built as part of the Az-Zour North Independent Water
and Power Project (IWPP).
The construction of the power plant along with a
desalination plant forms the first phase of five phases of the Independent
Water and Power Project.
The 1,500MW Az-Zour North Power plant will be based on combined cycle gas
turbine technology using heat recovery steam generators and steam turbines.
The turbines will generate electricity using natural gas as primary
fuel and fuel oil (gas oil) as back-up fuel.
Fuel requirements of the plant will be
fulfilled by MEW.

Shamal Az-Zour Al-Oula K.S.C is the joint stock company founded for the development of Az-Zour North One Power and Water plant.
Az-Zour North One Power and Water Plant is the first privately-owned gas-fired combined cycle power and water desalination plant in Kuwait.
During the last ten years, Kuwait’s power consumption has doubled driven by a fast population growth rate, which counts today just over four million people.
Shamal Az-Zour Al-Oula K.S.C is the joint stock company founded for the development of Az-Zour North One Power and Water Plant.
The operation of Az-Zour North Plant will be carried out by Shamal Az-Zour Al-Oula together with dedicated Operation and Maintenance Company AZN O & M Company.
AZN O&M Company works to strict, environmental operating procedures during the operation and maintenance of Az-Zour North power and water plant.
The Independent Water and Power Project is expected to be developed over five phases at the Az-Zour site.
The overall project will have a total capacity to generate 4,800MW of electricity and approximately 280 million imperial gallons per day (MIGD) of desalinated water.

The turbines generate electricity using natural gas as primary fuel and fuel oil (gas oil) as back-up fuel. Fuel requirements of the plant are fulfilled by MEW.
The desalination plant comprises multiple-effect distillation (MED) units capable of producing 107 million imperial gallons per day (MIGD) (486,400m³/d) of drinking water, which is equivalent to 20% of Kuwait’s installed water treatment capacity.
