Malaysia-based engineering firm MMC and the government of the Emirate of Ajman have signed a USD 2 billion agreement to construct a 1000MW power plant in Ajman. The coal-fired power plant is expected to supply new real estate developments with electricity, especially the Al Zorah development and other projects on the Emirates Road. The power plant is expected to be commissioned in 42 months time, with feasibility, technical and environmental studies to be conducted in the next six months to reduce the effects of vapors and sulfate residue. Two additional plants operated for the UAE Federal Electricity and Water Authority by MMC, are expected to become operational in the next few months time.
