As part of the deal, GE will also offer its technology to support large and combined-cycle power plants to produce about 3.8 gigawatts (GW) of power.

Earlier, GE’s technology has been selected for SEC’s PP9, PP10, PP11 and PP12 power plants, while PP14 will feature 12 GE 7F-5 gas turbines, four GE steam turbines and 16 generators.

The deal also features two contractual service agreements, one for each site, covering planned maintenance on the units for a fixed period of eight years.

SEC president and CEO Ali Albarrak said the company has selected GE once again for largest project because of their advanced technology.

"In addition, GE technology has the ability to respond to dramatic daily changes in power demand while maintaining high levels of fuel efficiency in line with the growing power resource needs of our country," Albarrak added.
