Doosan Enerbility has signed contracts valued at approximately 340 billion won (USD 248 million) to supply core equipment for two combined-cycle gas turbine (CCGT) power plant expansion projects in Saudi Arabia. The contracts were finalised with an engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) consortium led by Spain’s Técnicas Reunidas and Egypt’s Orascom Construction.
The two facilities, each designed to generate 2,900 megawatts, will be constructed in phases through to 2028. Under the agreement, Doosan Enerbility will provide two turbines and two generators per site, including one 650-megawatt unit and one 540-megawatt unit for each plant.
The equipment will be delivered to the Ghazlan 2 Expansion and Hajr Expansion power plants, both situated approximately 400 kilometres northeast of Riyadh.
“We have continued to win orders based on the trust and technological prowess we have built up in the Middle East for over 40 years,” said Sohn Seung-woo, Head of the Power Service Business Group at Doosan Enerbility. “We will do our best to further increase customer trust through the timely delivery of high-quality products for this project and win follow-up orders for upcoming projects.”
Doosan Enerbility has seen significant momentum in the global CCGT market, having secured orders for 7.3 gigawatts of ultra-large steam turbines over the past five years, representing 33.1 percent of the global total of 22.1 gigawatts. Since last year alone, nine turbine units have been contracted for Saudi Arabia.
