Background

Maisan Oil Energy power station is owned by the Maisan Power Company (MPC), a subsidiary of Raban Al-Safina for Energy Projects (Rasep). It is being built by Citic Construction Co. German engineering firm Siemens won a contract to deliver two STG5-4000F gas turbines, one SST5-4000 I-L steam turbine, and three SGEN5-2000H generators for the project. Siemens stated that the station is expected to generate power starting March 2021, and would be fully operational by the beginning of 2022.[9]

Construction on the plant began in June 2019.[10]
