The group, which also includes Saudi Arabia's Al-Arrab Contracting Co, is bidding for the project in Ras Azzour, on the Gulf coast. The project is integrated with a water desalination facility with a daily capacity of over 1 million cubic metres. A $2.86 billion bid from Spain's Iberdrola (IBE.MC) and Saudi partner Arabian Bemco Contracting Co came second, a source said declining to be identified. South Korea's Doosan Heavy Industries (034020.KS) came third with a bid of $2.91 billion while South Korean Hyundai Engineering & Construction (000720.KS) bid with Siemens (SIEGn.DE) and Saudi Services for Electro Mechanic Works Co Ltds at $3.7 billion, two sources said. Japan's Sasakura Engineering Co, with South Korea's Samsung Engineering (028050.KS), had made the lowest bid of $1.89 billion to build the desalination plant. [ID:nLDE64A0WL] Fuhaid bin Fahd Al-Sharif, governor of the state-controlled Saline Water Conversion Corp (SWCC), told Reuters in October the cost of the giant power and desalination project is expected to be 20-25 percent below initial estimates. The project had been estimated to cost $6 billion when Japan's Sumitomo Corp (8053.T) was leading a consortium to build and operate the plant. SWCC will take 1 billion litres of the plant's water production. Saudi Arabian Mining Co (Maaden) 1211.SE would take 1,350 MW and 1,050 MW would be allocated to Saudi Electricity Co (SEC) 5110.SE.
