Kuwait law firm GLA & Company said on October 4, 2026 that it is acting as Kuwait counsel to a consortium formed by Abu Dhabi Future Energy Company (Masdar) and Kuwait's Fouad AlGhanim & Sons. In the same announcement, GLA said the consortium had been selected to develop the Al-Dibdibah Power and Al-Shagaya Renewable Energy Phase Three, Zone One independent power project. The selection is reported in a statement published by counsel to its clients; it is not a government tender notice. This report does not present the selection as an independently confirmed government award or as a signed project contract. October 4 is the date of GLA's announcement, not a claimed date for the underlying selection decision.

GLA describes the planned project capacity as 1.1 gigawatts. The source presents that figure as the capacity of a plant to be developed, not generation from an operating facility. It says the project is intended to export electricity to Kuwait's national grid under a 30-year power purchase agreement with the Ministry of Electricity, Water and Renewable Energy. The scope also includes a 400-kilovolt transmission substation. These are terms described in GLA's announcement; they do not establish that construction is complete, that power is flowing to the grid, that the PPA has been signed or that financial close has occurred. Capacity is a design or project parameter, not an annual energy-output figure.

The law firm's statement says financial bids for the developer contract were opened in July 2026 and that the Masdar-led consortium was selected after submitting the most competitive offer. It does not disclose bid prices, the other bidders, the contract value, the equity split or the project's total financing requirement. A power tariff, public cost or final capital investment therefore cannot be calculated from this announcement. GLA identifies the Kuwait Authority for Partnership Projects (KAPP) and the Ministry of Electricity, Water and Renewable Energy as the procuring entities, but the selection and bidding account in this report remains attributed to the adviser. The release does not include a separate confirming statement from those public bodies.

The consortium comprises Masdar and Fouad AlGhanim & Sons. GLA says it has a Kuwait counsel mandate on the project and that its team will work with the sponsors. The firm's release also uses language about the energy transition and diversification of the generation mix; those are project-framing statements, not measured outcomes for Kuwait's power system. The reported numerical capacity is 1.1 GW planned. The announcement gives no annual generation estimate, carbon-reduction calculation, construction schedule or commissioning date. Verifiable milestones to watch would include a notice from the procuring authority, executed contract and financing documents, a construction start and eventual commissioning information. Until then, project capacity and intended commercial terms should remain distinct from operating results.
