Qurayyah to boost power generating capacity
Published in The Saudi Gazette on 07 - 02 - 2012

cycle power plant (CCPP) will receive the key components worth over $1 billion from Siemens. With an installed capacity of 4GW, it will be one of the world's largest CCPPs, and will supply enough electrical energy to meet approximately one tenth of the country's current power demand for its 28 million inhabitants.
Siemens' scope of supply encompasses a total of 12 SGT6-5000F gas turbines, 18 generators of the SGEN6-1000A series and six SST6-4000 steam turbines together with the associated electrical systems.
In addition a long-term service and maintenance agreement for the power plant was signed with Hajr Project Company (owned by SEC, ACWA, Samsung C&T). The order value for Siemens is over $1 billion. The plant will be operated by Hajr as an Independent Power Producer (IPP).
The project consortium is led by the Saudi company ACWA Power with Samsung C&T and MENA fund as further members. Siemens received the order from Samsung C&T which also acts as EPC contractor.
Commissioning of the total of six blocks is scheduled for 2014.
"For the Qurayyah power plant in Saudi Arabia we're supplying advanced combined cycle equipment from our global manufacturing network," said Roland Fischer, CEO of the Fossil Power Generation Division of Siemens Energy. The company will supply the components from its recently-inaugurated US gas turbine production plant in Charlotte, North Carolina, and also from its manufacturing plants in Berlin and Muelheim, Germany.
Siemens Energy will also provide the long-term maintenance for the major equipment in the IPP Qurayyah power plant. With its portfolio of customizable and proven energy service solutions, Siemens' full-scope maintenance and service contract will help to ensure the long-term reliability and optimum performance of the plant, as well as provide predictable maintenance costs.
Siemens last year received an order from Saudi Arabia for the supply of key components for the 2400-megawatt Ras Al-Khair (formerly called Ras Az Zawr) combined cycle plant. After the Ras Al-Khair, Shuaibah IWPP, Jeddah III, Ghazlan and Al Khobar projects, Qurayyah will be the sixth large-scale power plant built by Siemens.
