GE Vernova, Inc. has announced an order for six 7HA.03 and two 7E.03 gas turbines from SEPCOIII Electric Power Construction Co., Ltd. The contract covers the construction of the Taiba 1 and Qassim 1 power plants in Saudi Arabia, strengthening GE Vernova’s presence in the region. The order, registered in March 2024, is part of Saudi Arabia’s efforts to diversify its energy sources and meet its decarbonization targets by 2060.

A major contribution to the energy transition

The Taiba 1 and Qassim 1 power plants, located in the western and central regions of Saudi Arabia respectively, will supply up to 3.8 gigawatts of electricity, enough to power around 1.2 million homes. These plants will be equipped with GE Vernova’s most advanced gas turbines, capable of burning up to 50% hydrogen mixed with natural gas, and can be configured with post-combustion carbon capture systems to significantly reduce CO2 emissions.

A partnership for innovation and sustainability

In addition to supplying the equipment, GE Vernova has signed a 21-year service contract with National Operations & Maintenance Company (NOMAC), a subsidiary of ACWA Power, to support plant operations. This contract includes maintenance, repairs and parts supply, as well as the use of remote diagnostic tools based on digital analysis technology.

An emblematic project for Saudi Vision 2030

This project marks the largest single order for GE Vernova 7HA.03 turbines in the region, and is an important milestone in the localization of the gas turbine industry in Saudi Arabia. GE Vernova’s investments in the Kingdom, including the GE Manufacturing and Technology Center (GEMTEC) in Dammam and the GE Saudi Advanced Turbines (GESAT), demonstrate the company’s commitment to the diversification and sustainable growth of the Saudi economy.

Future prospects and ongoing collaboration

Joseph Anis, President & CEO of GE Vernova Gas Power for Europe, Middle East and Africa, underlined the importance of this project for the future of gas-fired power generation in Saudi Arabia. Marco Arcelli, CEO of ACWA Power, added that this partnership establishes a collaborative model for safer, more reliable and more sustainable power generation in the Kingdom. With these initiatives, GE Vernova and its partners are contributing not only to the modernization of the Saudi energy sector, but also to the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, paving the way for greener, more efficient energy production.
