Alfanar Construction has successfully completed the commissioning of the first two GT units at Hail-2 power plant – extension III project six weeks ahead of the schedule.  The units were energised in the presence of the executive president of Saudi Electricity Company (SEC).

The executive president of SEC, Ali Saleh Al Barrak visited the project and was accompanied by Sehaibani, vice president for engineering and projects and Fuad Al Shuraibi, VP for generation-O&M. The SEC delegation expressed their appreciation for the early energisation of Hail (2) power plant – third extension which empowers the SEC to meet the growing demands for reliable power across the Hail district, by adding approximately 400 MW to the grid of the region that is characterised by a steady growth of industrial projects and with urban expansion. Speaking on the occasion, Abdullah Al Hamad, construction division manager of Alfanar, said: “The completion of these units ahead of the scheduled date by six weeks is the result of well-coordinated hard work between the teams of Alfanar and SEC.”

He further added: “Last year, the Hail-2 extension-II project, consisting of units-7 and 8 were also completed in a record period of 12 months.”
