Projects

In 2008, the Kuwaiti Ministry of Energy (MOE) signed a $270 Million dollar contract to build a 200 MW power plant in Shuwaikh Port, making it the largest aeroderivative engine power plant of its kind in the Middle East. The Engineering, procurement and construction efforts were contracted to HPI, LLC, S&W Energy Solutions Inc. (SWES), an engineering firm, and Alghanim International (AI), a large Kuwaiti civil and electromechanical contractor. The power plant was built to assure a supply of electrical power to Kuwait City during the peak power usage months.[http://www.powergenworldwide.com/index/display/articledisplay/294264/articles/middle-east-energy/volume-4/issue-2/features/racing-against-the-clock.html Racing against the clock - Power Engineering International]
