The Jebel Ali power plant and seawater desalination plant ( Arabic محطة جبل على, English Jebel Ali Power and Desalination Plant ) is a gas and oil-fired combined cycle power plant combined with a seawater desalination plant southwest of Dubai in the United Arab Emirates .
The power plant complex, consisting of nine individual plants, extends over a length of more than three kilometers along the coast of the Persian Gulf between the port of Jabal Ali and the Jumeirah district . On the water side, the power plant is located between the artificial islands of Palm Jumeirah and Palm Jebel Ali , a good 40 km southwest of Dubai.

The facility, which is operated by Dubai's Energy and Water Authority (Dubai Electricity and Water Authority) , covers most of Dubai's energy and water consumption. With an installed capacity of 8.6 gigawatts, it is the largest gas-fired power plant. The world's largest seawater desalination plant can desalinate 2.135 million m 3 of seawater per day ( as of 2015), which corresponds to 470 million imperial gallons per day (MIGD).
The primary fuel used is natural gas or associated gas from oil production; Diesel and heating oil are used as a reserve . Since Dubai's own oil / gas production is insufficient, fuel is imported via pipelines from the neighboring emirates (especially Abu Dhabi and Sharjah ) and other Gulf countries (especially Iran and Qatar ).
With one exception, the seawater desalination plants work according to the multi-stage flash evaporation process , i.e. they use the waste heat from the power plant. Only one system uses the reverse osmosis process .
