As part of a previous contract with SEC, GE provided a number of 7F.05 gas turbines for the PP12 plant. Four entered commercial operations in 2014, while the rest were commissioned in 2015. These combined cycle turbines have already added roughly 1,800MW of power to Saudi Arabia’s national grid.
In addition, GE is set to provide 12 new 7F.05 gas turbines for SEC’s PP13 and PP14 plants.
