Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (Dewa) has extended the bid deadline for the Hassyan Clean Coal Power Project – Phase I by a further two months to March 26, 2015, in response to requests received from the bidders.

The plant will be based on the Independent Power Producer (IPP) model.

Saeed Mohammed Al Tayer, MD and CEO of Dewa, said: "This IPP-based clean coal project is a key step in the implementation of the energy diversification strategy formulated by the Dubai Supreme Council of Energy, to introduce clean coal based electricity generation into Dubai’s energy mix. Through such ground-breaking projects, Dewa will continue to complete energy projects that also contribute to meeting Dubai’s growing energy requirements and support the sustainable growth of the Emirate."

Dewa released the tender to qualified bidders on July 22th, 2014. The first phase of the project has a capacity of 1,200 MW using coal, and is expected to be operational by 2020.
