从2018年底，《走出去情报》便预测2019是中东项目的大年。

但没想到的是，中东的项目在第一季度便来的如此汹涌：从阿布扎比通过 PPP 相关法案，到本月沙特一口气签下23个公私合营项目，从卡塔尔大笔投资到迪拜连续授标，中东地区前三个月热点纷呈。

这其中最引承包商注目的是两大电力水务业主/Sponsor：迪拜水电局（DEWA）和沙特国际电力水务公司 （ACWA）。前者在上周发布了马克图姆太阳能园第五期 - 900MW 的光伏项目（上一期是上海电气中标的38亿美元、700MW光热的四期）；而后者则从沙特王储出访开始便基本不停歇的签约。

* ACWA Holding 是家合资公司，下设的ACWA Power亦是合资公司。《走出去情报》将专门发文解读ACWA的构成。

这也是为什么电建和葛洲坝都积极与 ACWA 勾兑的原因之一。

就在本周，ACWA Power 再次宣布计划在埃及电力领域投资30亿美元，相信这次又能在中资企业中引起一波机会+竞争。以下为英文原文信息：

Saudi-based Acwa Power is set to invest around $3 billion in Egypt’s electricity projects during this year.

The utility developer has collaborated with Hassan Allam Holding Company to establish a 2.3-gigawatt power plant in Luxor.

The power plant, being built at a cost of $2.3 billion, is expected to start the Phase One of the operation in the summer of 2022 and the full commercial operation in the summer of 2023.

The Power Purchase Agreement PPA is under a Build-Own-Operate framework with a term of 25 years. The project will be vital in meeting Egypt’s increasing demand for electricity over the next years, particularly in the upper Egypt region.

The $3 billion will be allocated for implementing investments in the Upper Egypt governorates of Luxor, Aswan’s Benban Solar Park, along with other projects.
