SAUDI ARABIA: Shuaiba power plant, stage 3

Located 100 km south of Jeddah, this project involves the construction of a 1200 MW plant adjacent to the existing Shuaiba facility. Alstom won the main construction contract for the expansion package in July 2008. Construction is in progress and expected to be completed in early 2013. When finally complete the Shuaiba power station will be made up of 14 units, each of 400 MW, adding up to a gross total output of 5600 MW. As leader of the construction consortium, Alstom is designing, supplying, installing and commissioning the entire plant. Key components include oil-fired boilers, STF40 steam turbines, GIGATOP turbogenerators, sea-water flue gas desulphurization and auxiliary equipment. The boilers are designed to burn both crude and heavy fuel oil. Alstom’s consortium partner, Saudi Archirodon, will carry out all the associated civil and marine works.

Main Contractor: Alstom
Actual value: US $3 billion
