2 OVERVIEW INTRODUCTION PROJECT DESCRIPTION PROJECT STATUS LEGAL AND ORGANIZATIONAL DEVELOPMENT PROSPECTS CONCLUSIONS

3 Power Demand in GCC Countries is anticipated to increase from 32 GW in 2003 to 94 GW in r1 Supply has to increase to match the anticipated demand. Considerable investment is required to build new generating capacities. The two common strategies: build capacities independently or interconnect individual systems. Economic analysis of the interconnection indicated a cost / benefit ration 1.77 (all six countries ) Reduces investment for power reserves by 3.5 billion US $ ( ) for the same reliability.

4 Slide 3 r1 I believe it is much more than this figure, only Saudi Arabia is 32,000 MW. rnassar, 10/10/2007

5 Reduce generating capacity required in each system due to ability to share power reserves r4 Share spinning reserves to cover emergency operating conditions Lower operating costs by using most economic generation unit in the interconnected system Improve the overall system reliability Provide emergency support to any system during black out situations Provide means for energy trading

27 Utilize the OPGW fiber optic excess capacity Authority may lease out fibers Market is being explored

28 The Interconnector will provide economic benefits and support in emergency situations The Interconnector s connection points rated equivalent to the loss of 50% of the largest power plant for each country The work progress shows about 41 % accomplishment as on September 2007 The Interconnector s legal and organisational frame work is in the process of being finalised The GCC Grid will be a fundamental step that can lead to a regional electricity market The Interconnector Provides an opportunity for capitalizing in fiber optic excess capacity
