In addition to natural gas, the units of the plant could also generate electricity by consuming crude oil.

Siemens Energy Sector Business Unit Gas Turbines and Generators CEO Thierry Toupin said the company’s F-class gas turbine is suitable for efficient power generation in the Saudi Arabian market.

"The Rabigh 2 IPP project expands our already strong market position in this country even further," Toupin said.
