Shuqaiq 2 IWPP (Independent Water and Power Project) is an integrated water and power plant project in Shuqaiq, Saudi Arabia. Construction of Shuqaiq 2 IWPP began in 2007 and achieved commercial operation in 2010. The project's power and desalination units are located adjacent to the existing Shuqaiq 1 power and desalination complex, 105 km south of Abha and 140 km north of Jizan, on the south-western (Red Sea) coast of Saudi Arabia.

The electricity and water produced at the plant is supplying power to southern grid and water to Abha, Jizan and other southern cities. The plant is currently on full production.

The Project is based on BOO (Build Own Operate) basis, under a 20-year PWPA (Power and Water Purchase Agreement) for the design, construction, commissioning, testing, ownership, operation and maintenance of a new 850 MW Arabian Heavy Crude Oil fired power and 216,000 m³/day (48 MIGD) desalination plant and associated facilities.^[1]
