The Az-Zour North Power and Water Plant is Kuwait's first privately-owned gas-fired combined cycle power and water desalination plant, with output supplied to the country's national power and water grid under a 40-year long-term Energy Conversion and Water Purchase Agreement. The company is the first power generation and water desalination company and the first Private Public Partnership project to be listed in Kuwait, having received approval to list on Boursa Kuwait's Premier Market on 16 August 2020.
The company operates a critical infrastructure asset with significant market share (10% of power, 20% of water capacity) backed by a 40-year government purchase agreement, providing revenue stability and long-term visibility. The first private PPP in Kuwait's utility sector demonstrates strategic positioning in an essential service market with predictable cash flows. However, exposure to a single jurisdiction, regulatory risk, and technological commodity nature of the business cap upside potential.
