The overall configuration of the plant, consisting of five Gas Turbines with related Heat Recovery Steam Generators and two Steam Turbines with Air-Cooled Condensers ensures a high fuel utilisation factor of 81.1%.
The new plant is already starting to show some of the future benefits. Since November 2018, it has been supplying steam to Saudi Aramco’s Fadhili Gas Project through a gas fired Reserve Boiler. After completion it will then provide 1,520 MW of electrical power as well as 1,447 tons of steam per hour and 768.8 tons of feed water per hour to its industrial offtakers.
The Fadhili Cogeneration Plant ignited the first two turbines.
