Doosan Enerbility is reinforcing its foothold in the Middle Eastern power generation market by securing back-to-back key equipment supply contracts for two large-scale gas combined cycle power projects underway in Saudi Arabia.
On May 27, Doosan Enerbility announced that it has signed contracts to supply steam turbines and generators for the Ghazlan 2 Expansion and Hajar Expansion gas-fired power plants, both located in the eastern region of Saudi Arabia. The total value of these agreements is approximately 340 billion won.
The contracts were signed with a joint EPC consortium formed by Spain’s leading EPC company, Técnicas Reunidas, and Egypt’s major construction firm, Orascom. This follows an initial contract secured in April for the Hajar project, with the recent signing securing the Ghazlan 2 project as well.
Both power plants are designed with a capacity of around 2,900 MW each and are strategically situated approximately 400 km northeast of Riyadh. They are scheduled for phased completion by 2028. Doosan Enerbility will supply a total of four steam turbines and generators—two 650 MW units and two 540 MW units—to power these facilities.
Son Seung-woo, Vice President of Power Service Business Group at Doosan Enerbility, stated, “Our technological expertise and trusted reputation built over decades in the Middle Eastern market led to these successful contracts. We aim to increase customer satisfaction through precise delivery and high-quality supply, which will also accelerate our future project wins.”
Over the past five years, Doosan Enerbility has achieved a global market share of 33.1%, equating to 7.3 GW of the 22.1 GW of ultra-large steam turbines ordered worldwide for combined cycle power plants, securing its position as the industry leader. In Saudi Arabia alone, it has secured contracts for nine steam turbines recently, steadily expanding its regional portfolio.
These new contracts exemplify Doosan Enerbility’s strategic response to the ongoing energy infrastructure expansion in Saudi Arabia and the GCC countries, highlighting its commitment to strengthening its presence in the rapidly growing Middle Eastern energy sector.
