The Power Generation facility at Yanbu Industrial City has been diversified for extra reliability. The present facility consists of 9 gas turbine units out of which 8 units are of 56.2 MW each and ninth unit is of 68 MW, therefore, total capacity from gas turbine is 517.6 Megawatt. There are 3 steam turbine units of 127.5 MW each with total capacity of 382.5 MW. One additional steam turbine unit (130 MW) is under commissioning.

The electric generators deliver power at 13.8kV to main transformers which step up the voltage to 115 kV and connected to 115kV switchyard.

The gas turbines are using sales gas as a main fuel for power generation while diesel (LFO) is available as a back up. Steam turbines are generating power through heavy fuel oil (HFO) as a primary fuel but no back up fuel is there for these units right now.

The gas turbines provided with 5 heat recovery steam generators, produces 811 t/h steam, supplying process steam to desalination plant, heavy fuel oil tanks in tank farm area and steam turbine plant. Each HRSG can receive exhaust gases from only one gas turbine while the other gas turbine is either operating in simple cycle mode or on standby.

Moreover, there are two 4.2 MW Black start diesel generator units available to enable restoration of the power supply in case of black out. Also there is a Hydrogen plant consists of 2 Hydrogen Generators which can produce 424 SCFH Pure Hydrogen gas 99% purity from each generator. The steam turbine units are capable of supplying some auxiliary steam for desalination plant during emergency.
