(PG) is to build a combined cycle power plant with seawater desalination facility in

for Karachi-based independent power provider DHA Cogen.

Siemens PG will also build two identical-design steam power plant units for Office Cherifien des Phosphates (OCP) in Morocco. The two orders are valued at approximately €80 million.

The new power plant in the Pakistani harbour city will have an installed capacity of 94 megawatts and produce approximately 14 million litres of drinking water daily. The plant is a key component of a $600-million infrastructure project being implemented by the Defence Housing Authority.

When completed, this project will provide a housing area for approximately 800,000 people. The new power plant is scheduled to come on line in early 2007. By linking the power plant with a thermal desalination facility almost 85 percent of the energy contained in the natural gas will be utilised. A second unit of this type is planned.
