Saudi Arabia is building the most modern gas stations in the world to generate electricity using the combined cycle system
The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is working to build the largest and most modern gas stations to generate electricity using the combined cycle system, in the world, in the western and central regions of the Kingdom.
The German energy company Siemens said on Monday that it had received an order from Saudi Arabia for a period of 25 years to develop two electricity generation plants with a total value of $1.5 billion.
Siemens Energy won the deal to supply the Taiba 2 and Al-Qassim 2 stations with integrated technologies and technological solutions, including gas turbines, steam turbines and generators to produce 4 gigawatts of electricity, in addition to signing a long-term maintenance contract extending for 25 years for the two stations.
It explained that the Taiba 2 and Qassim 2 stations, which are among the largest and most efficient combined cycle power plants in the world, will initially be connected to the grid in a simple cycle in 2026, and will be operated permanently in a combined cycle in 2027.
The two gas plants are expected to achieve a reduction in carbon dioxide emissions of up to 60% compared to traditional oil-fired power plants.
On the other hand, General Electric Vernova, listed on the New York Stock Exchange, said that it had received an order to supply 8 gas turbines to SEPCO 3 Electric Power Construction Company Limited in Saudi Arabia.
The new turbines will be used to generate electricity in the “Taiba 1” stations located in the western region of the Kingdom, and “Al-Qassim 1” stations located in the central region.
The two plants are expected to be among the most efficient power plants in the Kingdom and to supply the national grid with a total capacity of 3.8 gigawatts of electricity.
