[Mitsubishi Heavy Industries completes first gas turbine assembly in Saudi Arabia]In 2025, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Energy Corporation successfully completed the assembly of its first JAC gas turbine (M501 JAC) at the Dammam Assembly Plant in Saudi Arabia. This gas turbine will be used for the Amiral cogeneration power plant in Jubail, providing 475 megawatts of electricity and steam support for the SATORP petrochemical complex, a joint venture between Saudi Aramco and Total of France.
This project is jointly developed by Abu Dhabi National Energy Company and Japan's JERA company, marking a new stage in Mitsubishi Heavy Industries' 60 year partnership with Saudi Arabia. Through the implementation of the Saudi nationalization plan, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries actively cultivates local technical talents. Currently, the proportion of Saudi employees has exceeded 50%, including several female engineers. These employees have mastered high-end gas turbine technology and energy operation and maintenance skills through systematic training.
Mitsubishi Heavy Industries President Takao Tsukai stated that the completion of the first JAC gas turbine assembly in Saudi Arabia is an important milestone in the cooperation between the two parties. These gas turbines will provide technical support for Saudi Arabia's economic growth and carbon reduction goals. The JAC series gas turbines have high efficiency, low emissions, and flexible adaptability. By producing and assembling locally in Saudi Arabia, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries further promotes self-sufficiency in energy infrastructure, laying a solid foundation for Saudi Arabia to achieve its "2030 Vision" and "Green Saudi Arabia" goals.
