Mitsubishi Power secures two gas turbine orders for KSA
Mitsubishi Power, a power solutions brand of Mitsubishi Heavy Industries (MHI), has received two major orders in cooperation with Doosan Enerbility to supply six state-of-the-art M501JAC gas turbines, generators, and auxiliary equipment for the Rumah-1 and Al-Nairyah-1 Independent Power Plant (IPP) projects in Saudi Arabia. The Rumah-1 and Al-Nairyah-1 power plants, located in the central and eastern regions of Saudi Arabia, will be developed by a consortium comprising the Saudi Electricity Company (SEC), Acwa Power, and Korea Electric Power Corporation (KEPCO). The power plants will deliver a combined 3.6 GW, accounting for nearly 2.5% of the national grid's capacity. These baseload plants will ensure grid stability while supporting the growing integration of renewable energy sources, which are becoming an increasing share of the Kingdom's energy mix. The power plants will generate reliable and uninterrupted power, to meet the rising demand for electricity and support the goals of Saudi Arabia Vision 2030. The M501JAC turbines, renowned for their high efficiency, reliability, and operational flexibility, will be assembled in the Kingdom at Mitsubishi Power Saudi Arabia's Dammam factory. The 17,730 square meter facility provides services for key gas turbine components and features a majority of Saudi employees, in line with Mitsubishi Power's Saudi National programme, which provides Saudi talent with rewarding careers pathways, and empowers them with advanced technical skills, through on the job training and knowledge exchange programmes. Under the supervision of the Ministry of Energy, the Rumah-1 and Al-Nairyah-1 power plants will play an integral role in Saudi Arabia's energy mix plan, which aims to integrate renewable energy and natural gas to each account for 50% of the Kingdom's electricity generation by 2030. These projects are also a key part of the Saudi Green Initiative, which seeks to achieve net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2060 or earlier, using a circular carbon economy approach. Khalid Salem, President of Middle East & North Africa, Mitsubishi Power commented:"We are proud to partner with SEC, Acwa Power, KEPCO, and Doosan Enerbility on this landmark project, which underscores our commitment to advancing Saudi Arabia's energy infrastructure. As the Kingdom continues its ambitious journey towards increasing the share of renewable energy in its grid, the Rumah-1 and Al-Nairyah-1 plants will serve as cornerstones in ensuring grid stability and reliable power generation. Our advanced M501JAC gas turbines, renowned for their efficiency and flexibility, will deliver continuous, dependable power even under the most demanding conditions, adapting seamlessly to the evolving needs of the grid. This collaboration not only strengthens our dedication to delivering cutting-edge, hydrogen-ready solutions but also marks a significant step forward in supporting Saudi Arabia's Vision 2030 and its broader ambition for a sustainable, low-carbon energy future. We are excited to continue advancing our ability to deliver clean, reliable, and efficient power generation solutions that will help power the Kingdom's economic growth and enhance the quality of life for communities across Saudi Arabia." -TradeArabia News Service

Mitsubishi Power completes GTCC power station at Alba plant
Mitsubishi Power, a power solutions brand of Japanese group Mitsubishi Heavy Industries (MHI), today (February 19) announced the successful completion of the Power Station 5 Block 4 gas turbine combined cycle (GTCC) power plant at Aluminium Bahrain (Alba). This plant is powered by Mitsubishi Power's state-of-the-art, hydrogen-ready M701JAC gas turbine and steam turbine. The high-efficiency power plant was developed by a Mitsubishi Power consortium with SepcoIII to expand Alba's captive power generation capacity in line with its growth and sustainability objectives, and to help accelerate the sustainable economic development of Bahrain, said the Japanese group in a statement. With a combined cycle output of 680.9 MW, the Mitsubishi Power M701JAC gas turbine represents the first deployment of this advanced JAC technology in a Middle Eastern aluminium smelter, contributing to Alba's decarbonization goals while ensuring energy security for its operations. The announcement was made during a ceremony held at Alba's Power Station 5 site attended by high-level officials from Alba including the Chairman of the Board Khalid Al Rumaihi, Chief Executive Officer Ali Al Baqali, Chief Power Officer Amin Sultan, and Alba's Executive Management Team and a senior delegation from Mitsubishi Power led by Takashi Tozawa, Vice President, Energy Systems at MHI and Khalid Salem, President, Middle East and North Africa, Mitsubishi Power. Senior officials from SepcoIII were also present including its Vice President, Kong Lingfen. Mitsubishi Power was able to complete the contract a month ahead of schedule and this new milestone marks the successful execution of the project, reinforcing its track record in the delivery of high-efficiency and reliable power solutions for energy-intensive industries. On the project completion, Tozawa said: "We are honored to celebrate this landmark project which introduced Mitsubishi Power's state-of-the-art power generation technology to the Mena region and we are proud to mark the completion of this significant milestone for our partner Alba."
