GE has been selected to provide gas turbine technology and services for four Saudi Electricity Company (SEC) power plant expansions that will support Saudi Arabia in meeting its growing power needs. The total value of the agreements with GE is expected to be more than $500m.
The new power plant expansion projects that GE will be supplying to include:
* 600 MW expansion of the SEC power plant in Qurayyah.
GE will provide three gas turbines, one steam turbine and four generators for combined-cycle service at the plant, which will supply additional power to Saudi Arabia’s Eastern region.
* 480 MW expansion of the PP-10 power plant 40 km south of Riyadh City.
GE will supply eight gas turbines and generators, which will join 32 gas turbines already installed at the site. The plant expansion will support the electricity needs of Saudi Arabia’s Central region.
* 480 MW SEC power plant expansion at Qassim, 350 km north of Riyadh.
GE has implemented two previous expansions at this site. For the latest extension, GE will provide eight gas turbines and generators for simple cycle service, supporting SEC to meet the power needs of Saudi Arabia’s Central region.
* 120 MW expansion of the SEC power facility near Tabouk.
GE will supply two gas turbines and generators for simple-cycle duty at the site, which serves the Western region.
