Dubai Electricity and Water Authority power station

The Dubai Electricity and Water Authority power station is a planned 1,200 MW clean coal power station by state-owned Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (DEWA), announced in August 2013.

Construction on the facility is set to be finished in two 600-megawatt phases — the first to be completed in 2020 and the second in 2021. The station is reportedly a reworked version of earlier plans to build a $1.3 billion gas-fueled Hassyan power and water project, which DEWA put off indefinitely in April 2013.

Dubai has said it plans to generate 12 percent of its power from nuclear sources, 5 percent from solar projects and 71 percent from natural gas, in addition to the 12 percent from the clean coal plant.
