Background
In 2013, ACWA Power company announced development plans for the Rabigh 2 Independent Power Project (IPP) and financing agreements between the Saudi Electricity Company (SEC) and Al-Murjan for Electricity Production Company.[8]
The combined cycle power plant is configured in three blocks, each comprising two gas turbines, two heat recovery steam generators (HRSG), and one triple pressure steam turbine.[9]
In December 2017, Al Mourjan for Electricity Production Company broke a safety record while finishing construction of the plant.[10] They began operating soon after and reported selling electricity in Q2 2018.[11]
