Recently, in the desert northwest of Al Mendassah town in Medina province, Saudi Arabia, the construction site of MGS gas booster station Phase III is bustling. At the same time, the survey work for the 380 kV transmission line of the Red Sea Aluminum Project in the Yanbu Royal Commission Industrial Zone is also progressing synchronously. These two construction sites, separated by thousands of miles, are closely connected due to the winning bid of the same Chinese company - Ningxia Electric Power Construction has successfully won the cable laying and wiring project of MGS gas booster station phase III and the 380 kV transmission line phase I project of Honghai Aluminum Industry, with a total contract amount of about 280 million yuan. From the King's Port super shipyard to the MGS energy artery, Ningxia Electric Power Construction is continuously marking new coordinates on the Middle East power infrastructure map.

MGS Phase III supports the Saudi West East Gas Pipeline

The cable laying and wiring project of MGS gas booster station Phase III is located 815 kilometers west of Riyadh. The project covers electrical engineering, instrumentation and control engineering, communication engineering, and pre commissioning coordination, with a total construction period of 670 days. MGS is the core project of Saudi Arabia's national natural gas pipeline network. The third phase of the project is undertaken by Shandong Electric Power Construction as the EPC general contractor, with a total contract amount of approximately 1.5 billion US dollars. After the completion of the project, Saudi Arabia's natural gas transmission capacity will increase from 12 billion cubic feet per day to 17.5 billion cubic feet per day. Ningxia Electric Power Construction has accumulated rich experience in fulfilling contracts in MGS Phase II. The winning bid for the cable laying and wiring project, which is a key link in electrical system installation, continues to demonstrate its technical strength and contractual capabilities in Saudi Aramco's high standard oil and gas engineering system.

Red Sea Aluminum Industry's transmission lines guarantee a billion dollar industry

The first phase of the Red Sea Aluminum Transmission Line project is located in the Yanbu Royal Commission Industrial Zone, with a total length of about 15.4 kilometers. It is installed on the same tower with double circuits and simultaneously reserves the conditions for two outgoing lines. Saudi Red Sea Aluminum Industry is an emerging large-scale aluminum industry chain platform, planning to build a modern complex with an annual output of 2 million tons of alumina and 600000 tons of carbon. The total investment for the first phase of the project is 1.835 billion US dollars. This 380 kV transmission line is the core energy transmission channel of the entire industrial park, undertaking the key task of providing stable high-voltage power guarantee for electrolytic aluminum production and deep processing. Ningxia Electric Power Construction's winning bid directly serves the power lifeline of the 10 billion level aluminum industry chain. Keywords: Middle East News Network, Infrastructure, Electricity

Group Army Operations and Regional Deep Cultivation

Ningxia Electric Power Construction relies on the platform of China Electric Power Construction Group and continues to collaborate with Shandong Electric Power Construction on projects, accumulating rich experience in Saudi Arabia. The Saudi King's Port project is a landmark project undertaken by a consortium of Shandong Electric Power Construction and Hydropower Fifth Bureau, with a contract value exceeding 3 billion US dollars. After completion, it will become the world's largest super shipyard, and Ningxia Electric Power Construction will be responsible for the installation of electrical and instrumentation communication systems. From King's Port to MGS Phase III, from super shipyard to energy artery, Ningxia Electric Power Construction's involvement continues to deepen. The model of local state-owned enterprises relying on group platforms to borrow ships for overseas operations is being validated - continuously obtaining key sections from MGS Phase II to Phase III, reducing the risk of independent overseas operations. Analysts believe that under the framework of Saudi Arabia's 2030 vision, energy and industrial infrastructure will continue to release structural demand, and the credit accumulation of continuous performance is more valuable in the long run than a single low-priced bid. The story of Chinese enterprises in the Middle East is moving from a single breakthrough to a systematic deepening.Editor/Gao Xue
