  1. Electricity Network Connectivity Between the GCC Countries Presented By: Adnan I. Al-Mohaisen May 17, 2005

  2. BIRTH OF THE GCC POWER GRID • Originated in the early 1980’s by a local GCC committee from the electricity sector. • In 1986 the first project study was conducted by a committee from the GCC in coordination with the Kuwait Research Institute and King Fahad University of Petroleum and Minerals. • The study was updated in 1990 by Gulf Investment Bank and SNC-Lavalin to confirm the interconnection was economical and financially viable. • In 2003 another study update was undertaken as a final preparation for the project financing and tendering, in which the following topics were covered: • Techno-Economic Analysis • Market Study • Financial Analysis • Interconnection Agreement • Implementation Strategy

  3. GCC INTERCONNECTION AUTHORITY • Established in July 2001 by a Royal Decree No. M/21. • Owned by the six GCC Countries the authorized share capital is ($US 1,100,000,000) divided into (1,100,00) shares of ($US 1,000) each share. • The Authority is managed by a (twelve member) Board of Directors; each member country is represented by two members. The Chairmanship is rotated among the member states every three years. • The official domicile of the Authority is Dammam, with the Control Center to be located in Ghunan, Saudi Arabia. • The primary objective of the Authority is to: • link up the power grids of the six GCC countries • operate and maintain the interconnection

  5. INTERCONNECTION LINK The interconnection is to be constructed in 3 phase, namely: Phase II Phase I Phase III Phase I will interconnect Al-Zour (Kuwait), Al-Fadhili, Ghunan, Salwa (KSA) and Doha South (Qatar) with a 400 kV OHL, and a 400 kV Land & Submarine cable with Al-Jasra (Bahrain). Phase II will integrate the UAE system with a 400 kV OHL from Shuwaihat to Al-Ouhah. Phase III will interconnect Salwa and Shuwaihat with 400 kV OHL and Al-Ouhah and Al-Waseet in Oman with a 220 kV OHL.

The capacity benefits to Year 2028 are shown below: Isolated System Interconnected System The cumulative benefit in MW of the interconnected system as opposed to isolated systems will be 5,113 MW.

  12. INTERCONNECTION BENEFITS • Reduce generation reserves; • Provide power exchange and strengthens supply reliability; • Improve the economic efficiency of the electricity power systems; • Strengthens operational efficiency; • Promoting utilities to construct larger generation units to share extra generated power; • Provide opportunities for industrial customers and utilities to shop around for more attractive supply of power; • Adopt technological development and use the best modern technologies; • Providing long-term environmental advantages by reducing waste emissions from increasing generation plants.

  13. GLOBAL INTEGRATION • The technical and economical feasibility study for the GCC Interconnection has been proven. • The GCC Interconnection will enhance the Power Systems of the GCC Countries. • The GCC Countries will be a significant part of the Pan-Arab Grid. • The GCC Interconnection is the main gateway towards a Regional and Pan-Arab Power Pools. • The Power Grid is a fundamental step leading to the liberalization of regional power market.

  14. 6 7 4 4 22 PROJECT STATUS • September 2004 SNC-Lavalin of Canada was hired to perform the Tendering and Adjudication for the Phase I Project. • Thirty three (33) out of the sixty five (65) companies were pre-qualified; where some companies qualified for only one lot and some qualified for all five lots. Pre-qualified companies were from local GCC and international countries. GCCIA will engage an international consulting firm affiliated with a local GCC firm for the Supervision of the Construction of the Phase-I Project.
