Rabigh Combined Cycle Power Plant
Rabigh Reinforcement 1.2 Giga-Watt Combined Cycle Power Plant
The consortium of ELSEWEDY ELECTRIC PSP and Siemens Energy signs an EPC contract with Saudi Electricity Company (SEC) to build Rabigh Reinforcement 1.2 Giga-Watt Combined Cycle Power Plant
- Turnkey EPC expansion of the existing power plant by adding 1.2 GW Combined Cycle Plant
- Commercial operation scheduled in phases from June 2025 till June 2026
- The project will supply electric power to approximately 500,000 residential unit annually
In a consortium with Siemens Energy, ELSEWEDY ELECTRIC PSP inks a contract with Saudi Electricity Company (SEC) for the engineering, procurement, construction, commissioning (EPC), and startup, of the turnkey Reinforcement of Rabigh 1.2 GW Combined Cycle Power Plant (CCPP) project in the city of Rabigh, in the kingdom of Saudi Arabia, with a value exceeding USD 1 bn.
The project is located around 135 kilometers north of Jeddah city and will feature a combined-cycle power block in multi-shaft configuration. The power block comprises of: three (3) SGT6-5000f heavy duty gas turbines with three (3) SGen6-1000a air-cooled generators, three (3) heat recovery steam generators, one (1) SST-5000 series HI-L steam turbine with one (1) SGen6-3000W water-cooled generator, and water-cooled condenser.
ELSEWEDY ELECTRIC PSP scope of work includes the design, engineering, procurement, construction, permitting, testing, and commissioning of a new gas-fired CCGT power plant using Siemens Energy’s state-of-the-art technology for the main equipment, high-efficiency gas turbines, steam turbine, generators, and their auxiliaries.
The Saudi power procurement company (SPPC), as the principal buyer of the produced capacity of power projects in Saudi Arabia, constantly evaluates the chance to develop and expand the existing generation projects to further enhance and grow the capabilities to meet the power demand and ensure the reliability of the power supply to address the remarkable growth in Saudi Arabia’s electricity consumption toward the achievement of vision 2030.
