RIYADH: Mitsubishi Power, a brand of Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, reaffirmed its commitment to Saudi Arabia at the Saudi Aramco In-Kingdom Total Value Add Forum in Dammam, where it participated as a platinum sponsor.
The company highlighted its contributions to power generation technology, localization and sustainability, aligning with Saudi Vision 2030.
In August, Mitsubishi Power took on a major project in Saudi Arabia by providing advanced M501JAC gas turbines for a new power plant at the Saudi Aramco Total Refining and Petrochemical Company facility in Jubail. These turbines generate electricity efficiently and are ready to use hydrogen as fuel in the future.
The power plant will produce 475 megawatts of electricity and steam for industrial use. The site will also include one of the Gulf’s biggest machines for turning oil and gas into materials used to make everyday products, such as plastics.
“Mitsubishi Power is honored to bring our industry-leading and best-in-class Japanese technology solutions and services to the Kingdom to power its bold and ambitious vision,” said Adel Al-Juraid, CEO of Mitsubishi Power Saudi Arabia. “The Kingdom is moving forward at a rapid pace to establish itself as a vital sustainable energy hub, and we will be alongside it, building on our long and successful heritage to support its power needs.”
Supporting localization efforts, the company will assemble its JAC gas turbines, which can blend hydrogen with natural gas, at its Dammam facility. The turbines, with a combined efficiency rate exceeding 64 percent, align with Saudi Arabia’s industrial growth and sustainability goals.
“At Mitsubishi Power, we are proud to contribute to Saudi Vision 2030 by harnessing the talent of young Saudis, both male and female, and empowering them with skills to shape the future of Saudi Arabia’s energy industry,” Al-Juraid said.
“With the localization of our assembly operations for our cutting-edge gas turbines, this year marks a new chapter in our 60-year journey of partnership with the Kingdom. We remain committed to supporting a clean and sustainable energy future for decades to come,” he added.
At IKTVA, the company displayed advanced technologies, including hydrogen-fueled turbines, reflecting its commitment to Saudi Vision 2030 and the Saudi Green Initiative.
