Under the contracts totalling almost $300m, the company will deliver 13 Frame 7EA gas turbines and associated generators for the plant expansions which will add a total capacity of 800MW to the electricity generation in the country.
The six sites for the expansions are Tabuk, Qurrayat, Wadi Al Dwasir, Sharura, Ala-Wajh and Najran simple-cycle plants.
GE will deliver the turbines to the various sites during the fourth quarter of 2012 and the first quarter of 2013, with commercial operations expected to commence in May 2013.
