Gemma to proceed with EPC contract for natural gas-fired plant in Texas
Argan's subsidiary Gemma Power Systems has been notified to proceed with its previously announced engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) services contract for a 1.2GW natural gas-fired plant in Sandow Lakes, Lee County, in the US state of Texas. Gemma signed the EPC contract with Sandow Lakes Energy Company (SLEC) in February 2025. The plant will power 800,000 homes upon completion. Construction of the project, now part of Argan's backlog, will commence in summer 2025 with an expected completion date in 2028. The initiative follows SLEC's announcement in March 2025 that it was to construct the power plant, which will be developed and owned by a SLEC subsidiary and will operate within the Electric Reliability Council of Texas. Gemma CEO Charles E Collins IV stated: "We're thrilled to move forward with SLEC on this major power project. Their strong development efforts set the stage for success, and we look forward to working together. Expanding power infrastructure is essential to meeting rising energy demands, and our team is dedicated to delivering exceptional results." The combined cycle power station will feature two Siemens Energy SGT6-9000HL gas turbines, claimed to provide high power output and fuel efficiency. These turbines can operate on hydrogen with only minor modifications, aligning with decarbonisation goals. The combined cycle power station will be located close to the Matterhorn natural gas pipeline. SLEC, formed to develop and invest in energy projects in Texas, aims to meet the state's escalating electricity demand. Gemma is an EPC services provider with experience comprising 15GW of installed capacity across natural gas power generating plants, biomass-fired power plants, solar facilities, wind farms, biofuel plants and other environmental facilities. Argan's primary business focus is on providing construction and related services to the power industry.

Siemens Energy Invests $1.6 Billion In Renewable Energy Project
Located in the Western and Central regions of the Kingdom, the new power plants, Rumah 2 and Nairyah 2, will figure among the world's largest combined-cycle power plants. Siemens energy has secured a US $1.6 billion project to provide key technologies for the Rumah 2 and Nairyah 2 gas-fired power plants in Saudi Arabia. Harbin Electric International will be the EPC contractor for the project. Located in the Western and Central regions of the Kingdom, Rumah 2 and Nairyah 2 will figure among the world's largest combined-cycle power plants. They will replace aging oil-fired stations, reducing CO2 emissions by up to 60% compared to traditional oil-based power generation. The plants will add 3.6 gigawatts of power to the national grid, which will be enough to supply around 1.5 million homes. Siemens Energy will supply six SGT6-9000HL gas turbines, four SST6-500 steam turbines, eight SGen6-3000W generators, two SGen6-2000P generators and auxiliary equipment. Each site will generate approximately 1.8 gigawatts of electricity. Core components of the power plants will be manufactured at the Siemens Energy Hub in Dammam. Rumah 2 and Nariyah 2 will initially be integrated into the grid in simple cycle mode in 2027 and will transition to full operation as combined-cycle power plants by 2028. The project also includes long-term maintenance agreements to support the plants' operational reliability over the next 25 years.

Siemens Energy lands $1.6bln Saudi power plants deal
Siemens Energy, a global leader in energy technology, has been awarded a $1.6-billion project to provide technology for two Saudi gas-fired power plants - Rumah 2 and Nairyah 2 - located in in the country's western and central regions. These plants will add 3.6 gigawatts of power to the national grid – enough to supply around 1.5 million homes. Rumah 2 and Nairyah 2 will rank among the world's largest combined-cycle power plants. They will replace aging oil-fired stations, reducing CO2 emissions by up to 60% compared to traditional oil-based power generation. Additionally, the plants are being designed to be compatible with advanced CO2 capture and storage technologies, supporting Saudi Arabia's long-term emissions reduction goals, it stated. Harbin Electric International is the EPC contractor for the project which includes long-term maintenance agreements to support the plants' operational reliability over the next 25 years. Core components for the power plants will be manufactured at the Siemens Energy Dammam Hub, which is currently expanding to increase local production capacity and support Saudi Arabia's energy sector, said the German company in a statement. Under this contract, Siemens Energy will supply six SGT6-9000HL gas turbines, four SST6-5000 steam turbines, eight SGen6-3000W generators, two SGen6-2000P generators, and associated auxiliary equipment, with each site generating approximately 1.8 gigawatts of electricity. This order further strengthens its established presence in Saudi Arabia's Independent Power Producer (IPP) market, solidifying its role in delivering a significant share of Saudi Arabia's modern power generation. Building on the success of previous projects like Taiba 2 and Qassim 2 – which together add 4 gigawatts to the national grid – Siemens Energy continues to drive local manufacturing expansion and infrastructure modernization, playing a key role in the country's energy sector. "Supplying key technologies for the Rumah 2 and Nairyah 2 power plants directly supports Saudi Arabia's energy transition and its goal of achieving net zero emissions by 2060," remarked Ahmed ElSerry, Head of Gas Services Sales, Middle East. "By manufacturing critical components at our Siemens Energy Dammam Hub, this project further strengthens local production capabilities and builds expertise within the Kingdom, contributing to a more resilient energy sector," he noted. The Rumah 2 and Nairyah 2 will initially be integrated into the grid in simple cycle mode in 2027, transitioning to full operation as combined-cycle power plants by the following year, he added.- TradeArabia News Service Copyright 2024 Al Hilal Publishing and Marketing Group Provided by SyndiGate Media Inc.
