Saudi Arabia has recently introduced a transformation programme related to the energy sector that focuses on improving energy efficiency and increases the role of gas and renewables in the energy mix. It also effectively utilises existing natural resources.

The project is reported to be in line with the Saudi Vision 2030 programme. For more than four decades, Wärtsilä has been present in Saudi Arabia, and upon completion of this project, it will have more than 1900MW of installed capacity in the country.
