2026-04-12
The QASSIM 2 1980MW CCGT Independent Power Project is one of Saudi Arabia's largest and most advanced combined cycle power plants, with an installed capacity of 1,980 MW using H-class gas turbine combined cycle technology. The project is developed by a consortium including JENWA, EDF, and others, with China Energy International Group as the EPC contractor and Siemens Energy as the core power generation equipment supplier. The project is scheduled for simple cycle grid connection in 2026 and combined cycle commercial operation by 2027.
Challenges
Complex construction site: The large-scale combined cycle plant required simultaneous work across multiple zones, with dispersed temporary power demand and fluctuating loads.
High requirement for power continuity: Critical processes such as concrete pouring and heavy equipment lifting were extremely sensitive to power stability; any momentary outage could cause quality issues.
Environmental and noise restrictions: The project site is near residential and ecologically sensitive areas, imposing strict noise limits on temporary power equipment during construction.
Solutions
GEPLEADER undertook the temporary power support during the construction phase of QASSIM 2:
Results & Value
Critical process guarantee: The temporary power system maintained uninterrupted supply during key milestones such as continuous concrete pouring and gas turbine foundation work, helping achieve first-time quality acceptance.
Earlier milestone completion: Reliable power support enabled the EPC contractor to complete the first turbine foundation concrete pour ahead of schedule, gaining valuable time for subsequent equipment installation.
Service benchmark: GEPLEADER demonstrated the competitiveness of Chinese enterprises in supporting large-scale international infrastructure projects through professional temporary power services.
