Dubai-based Altaaqa Global, and sister company Altaaqa Alternative Solutions (Altaaqa), the premier provider of electrical power, water and temperature control solutions in Saudi Arabia, have garnered major nominations in the 2015 Platts Global Energy Awards – often referred to as the “Oscars of the energy industry.” Altaaqa Global’s 50 MW natural gas power plant project in Cameroon and Altaaqa’s 95 MW temporary power plant project in Al Kharj have both been shortlisted for “Construction Project of the Year”, one of the major and most coveted awards.

The two Zahid Group companies are among a stellar list of finalists that includes Royal Dutch Shell, ATCO Electric, Delta Rubis, DTE Energy, Fluor and Yanbu Aramco Sinopec Refining. The award, which recognizes excellence in project execution and management, will be given to the company that capitalized on a critical need or opportunity, quickly moved to propose and finance new facilities, dealt with myriad daunting issues before and during construction, and brought the project online with fiscal responsibility.
