Mitsubishi Power secures gas turbine order in Saudi Arabia

Mitsubishi Power has received an order from Samsung C&T Corporation to supply its M501JAC combined-cycle (CCGT) hydrogen-ready gas turbine for a new industrial steam and electricity cogeneration plant project in Saudi Arabia, the company announced on 26 August.

The project is being developed by a consortium led by Abu Dhabi National Energy Company (TAQA) and Jera. The new plant will produce electricity and steam for a petrochemical complex located in Jubail, in Saudi Arabia’s Eastern Province.

The M501JAC will be the first Mitsubishi Power heavy-duty gas turbine assembled in Saudi Arabia at Mitsubishi Power Saudi Arabia's assembly centre in Dammam.

Mitsubishi Power has also signed a long-term service agreement with the TAQA and Jera consortium to provide parts, repairs, and services, ensuring high availability and sustained reliability of the equipment. This will be supported by Mitsubishi Power's service centre in Saudi Arabia, located near the plant site.
