The Shoaiba II project was ordered by Saudi Electricity Authority to solve the power shortage considering the rapid increase of the economically active population and the increase of development demand in the Red Sea coastal cities west of Saudi Arabia. The project involves building a large-scale combined cycle power plant with capacity of 1,440MW. The power plant is located in the coastal area 100km southeast of Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. The Shoaiba II power plant plans to conduct a test run after completing construction by early next year.
STG unit No. 10 was successfully completed at 15:45 on December 15, 2014.
