The UAE's NMDC Energy has been awarded an engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) contract by Taiwan Power Company (Taipower) for pipeline installation, shore approach works and dredging for the Tung-Hsiao power plant second stage renewal project.
The $1.136 billion project involves the design, construction and installation of 111 kilometres of linear subsea pipeline at depths ranging from 10 metres to 55 metres, stretching between Taichung and Tung-Hsiao on Taiwan's west coast.
The scope of work includes shore approach works and dredging of approximately six million cubic metres.
A goal of the Tung-Hsiao project is to accelerate Taiwan’s transition to cleaner energy by enabling the delivery of natural gas with an annual capacity of 2.3 million tonnes.
“Over the past three years, we have boldly expanded our operations into renewable energy in Taiwan, forging transformative partnerships to unlock opportunities for various clean energy integration," said Ahmed Salem Al Dhaheri, CEO of NMDC Energy.
"Our collaboration with the Taiwan Power Company will drive and strengthen our presence in Taiwan and South East Asia.”
