The facility localizes the energy value chain in the Kingdom under one roof
Siemens Energy completed the expansion of its hub in Dammam, increasing its local capabilities in the energy industry, in line with the Kingdom’s Vision 2030. The facility, which now covers significant parts of the energy value chain, is the largest of its kind in the region and is ready to support neighboring countries.
Saudi Arabia’s demand for electricity is rising with the growing population of around 34mn. The Kingdom faces a pressing demand for power that is estimated to grow over 30 percent to 120GW this decade.
“The technology delivered by this facility will support the country in its push for sustainability and decarbonization amid an expanding energy industry,” remarked Mahmoud Sulaimani, Managing Director, Siemens Energy, Saudi Arabia.
Now the 75,000sqm industrial hub, which houses around 300 employees, has supplemented its manufacturing capacity with a fully integrated service value chain that includes technologically advanced repairs. Siemens Energy will continue to invest in this facility. It has already invested more than 100mn Euros.
Located in Modon 2nd Industrial City, the SEDH (Siemens Energy Dammam Hub) is designed to manufacture a combination of up to 10 heavy-duty Gas Turbines and around 40 Compression Packages annually.
Having delivered 26 compressor trains for strategic Saudi projects already, the facility will deliver more compression trains for other strategic projects in the Kingdom over the next few years.
The local supplier development program at SEDH is part of the Siemens Energy initiative to increase local content. Siemens Energy works with local suppliers to help them meet international standards and enhance the in-country supply chain.
