The project to construct power plants of combine 1,519 MW capacity is expected to be completed by November 2019 and Doosan Heavy is responsible for the engineering, procurement and construction.

“The project is meaningful due to the dwindling overseas orders of local construction industry and it will be a springboard for future power plant construction projects in Saudi Arabia,” said Kim Hun-tak, director of the EPC BG at Doosan Heavy.
