Utico plans clean coal power plants across GCC
- Middle East: Tuesday, October 23 - 2012 at 00:52
Regional full service utility and solutions provider Utico Middle East has announced plans to build clean coal power plants across the GCC, Times of Oman has reported. This follows a recent announcement by Utico to build a $408m coal power plant in the UAE. Coal-fired power plants produce almost 65 per cent of the world's energy today but none of them are in the GCC due to the environmental concerns and high costs associated with clean coal technology. "Clean coal-fired energy is acknowledged to be even cleaner and greener than gas-reliant energy," said Richard Menezes, managing director of Utico. The company, in partnership with Shanghai Electric, said it plans to establish the world's greenest coal-fired power plant in Ras Al Khaimah. The Dhs1.5bn facility is expected to be completed in 2015 and will generate 270 MW of power when fully functional.
