    - Also adding simple cycle gas turbine capability to SA’s largest power project, Power Plant 9 (PP9), a 1997 1,200-megawatt combined-cycle facility, the largest in the Middle East, and preparing to add 12 GE Frame 7EA gas turbines (the largest single installation of them in the world): 56 units, 4 gigawatts.

    QUOTES
    - Bolze: “The Middle East is one of the most important growth areas for GE Energy in the world today…The expanded presence is part of GE’s larger commitment to regionalize our project capabilities worldwide. That is particularly critical in the Middle East, where the need for additional power supply is driving strong demand for power plant equipment and services, as evidenced by the recent commitments our business has received.”
    - Wollyung: “Saudi Arabia’s electricity use has been increasing at a rate of about seven percent a year, and the Water and Electricity Ministry estimates that the Kingdom will require up to 20 gigawatts of additional power generating capability by the year 2019…We are committed to helping our customers in Saudi Arabia and throughout the Middle East meet the growing demand for reliable power.”
