SEC taps Doosan to develop power plant: Saudi Electricity Company (SEC) signed a USD 610.7 mn contract with South Korean energy solutions firm Doosan Enerbility to develop the PP12 combined cycle power plant, according to a statement. The project is part of Saudi Arabia’s plan to add 6 GW of power annually to meet growing energy demands and support long-term goals.

The details: The PP12 power plant will be built about 150 km northwest of Riyadh and will have a capacity of 1.8 GW. The plant will use advanced gas combined cycle technology, which improves efficiency by using both gas and steam turbines.
