According to a statement released on June 1, Doosan Enerbility signed a contract with a consortium of Korea Electric Power Corporation and Saudi Aramco for the construction of the "Phase 2 of the Jafurah Combined Heat and Power Plant." Korea Electric Power Corporation will participate as the developer responsible for project development and operation. Doosan Enerbility plans to execute the project using an EPC (Engineering, Procurement, and Construction) approach, managing everything from design to equipment supply, installation, construction, and commissioning.
The Jafurah Combined Heat and Power Plant Phase 2 will be built near the Jafurah gas field, approximately 400 kilometers east of Riyadh, the Saudi capital. The project aims for completion by 2029. Once operational, it will generate 330 megawatts of electricity and produce 465 tons of steam per hour to supply power and heat to the nearby gas field. The main equipment, including the steam turbine, will be manufactured and supplied by Doosan Enerbility's subsidiary, Doosan Skoda Power.
Lee Hyun-ho, head of Plant EPC BG at Doosan Enerbility, stated, "We are pleased to secure this Phase 2 project following the Phase 1 project in 2022. We expect continued demand for large-scale power projects in Saudi Arabia and the Middle East, and we will strengthen our market penetration based on our accumulated technology and experience."
Doosan Enerbility has been solidifying its presence in the local market by winning several large projects in Saudi Arabia recently. Last year, it secured contracts for a gas power plant with Qatar Electricity and Water Company worth about 290 billion won (February), a gas combined cycle power plant in Saudi Arabia valued at approximately 2.2 trillion won, and the construction of the PP12 gas combined cycle power plant worth around 890 billion won (March).
Additionally, Doosan Enerbility has signed contracts with U.S. companies for the supply of four 370 MW steam turbines and generators. The company is also working to expand its global portfolio by establishing cooperation and supply chain agreements with two subsidiaries of Vietnam's state energy company.
