South Korea’s Doosan Enerbility (formerly Doosan Heavy Industries) has announced that it has secured a construction contract worth $611 million from the Saudi Electricity Company (SEC) for the PP12 combined cycle power plant coming up in a strategic location 150 km northwest of Riyadh. The power plant, when completed, will boast a capacity of 1,800 MW, contributing to Saudi Arabia’s ambitious plans to expand its power generation capacity by 6 GW annually over the next five years, said Doosan Enerbility. Its involvement in the PP12 project is as part of a consortium with Sepco3.

Doosan Enerbility said the scope of work includes design services and supply of key equipment, as well as comprehensive commissioning.
