Arabian Bemco Contracting Co. submitted technical proposal for Extension of Rabigh Steam Plant Stage VI by 2,600 MW.

The plant utilizes four (4) conventional oil fired thermal generating units and BOP, each producing output of 600-650 MW and will be fired on heavy fuel oil with provision for future conversion to gas. The thermal plant will operate on a Conventional Reheat Rankine Cycle with the generated steam supplying multi pressure condensing turbo sets directly coupled to electrical generator. The electrical output will be exported to the grid through a new 380 kV GIS substation. The Project includes marine works for the intake and discharge, FGDs, ESPs and RO Plant.

Technical Proposal was submitted on Aug 20, 2008 and award is expected.
