On March 26th, Shandong Electric Power Construction Third Engineering Co., Ltd. and Saudi Electricity Company (SEC) officially signed the EPC contract for the expansion of the PP12 1800MW combined cycle power station. This is the third large-scale power station project won by the company in Saudi Arabia in 2025, following the Ruma and Naria projects. In the first quarter, the cumulative bid amount in the overseas market exceeded 5400MW, setting a new record for Chinese funded enterprises in the Middle East power EPC market.

The project adopts the world's leading 7H level gas turbine combined cycle technology, which will increase the power supply capacity of Riyadh by 20% and reduce carbon emissions by about 2 million tons per year after completion. As a key project of Saudi Arabia's "2030 Vision" energy transformation, its thermal efficiency will exceed 62%, saving 30% energy compared to traditional power plants. Shandong Electric Power Construction Third Company has once again won the favor of Saudi property owners based on its outstanding performance in undertaking PP13 and PP14 projects. The project execution will adopt a digital handover system to achieve intelligent operation and maintenance throughout the entire lifecycle.

This signing marks the leap of China's power engineering technology from "going global" to "rooting" in the high-end market of the Middle East. The company said that it would deepen cooperation with Saudi Arabia in green hydrogen, light and heat and other clean energy fields based on projects under construction, and set a new benchmark for energy cooperation along the "the Belt and Road".
