GE Vernova Inc. has announced the start of commercial operations at Jafurah Cogeneration Independent Steam and Power Plant. The plant is located approximately 125 km southeast of Dammam. GE Vernova provided a holistic solution including the core power plant equipment, its 7HA.01 gas turbine, and a service agreement for 20 years, including maintenance and supply of parts to manage all aspects of the engine’s lifecycle.
The facility is expected to be among the most efficient power plants in ����ֱ��. 
The cogeneration process maximizes energy output by capturing and reusing excess heat or steam. The plant is expected to deliver up to 314 tons/hour of steam, as well as up to 320 megawatts of electricity to support Jafurah gas field operations. By 2030, the Jafurah gas field is expected to produce up to 630,000 barrels of natural gas liquids and condensates, as well as more than 420 million standard cubic feet of ethane per day. 
“Significantly increasing gas production capacity over the next decade will positively contribute to the Kingdom’s energy mix and support self-sufficiency in gas supply as demand for power continues to grow in residential and industrial sectors,” said a representative of Doosan Enerbility. “The development of the Jafurah gas field was a very ambitious project and as the engineering, procurement, and construction company, we’re proud to have supported it.” 
“This project, featuring GE Vernova’s first H-Class gas turbine completed in ����ֱ��, has contributed to the local economy by creating direct and indirect jobs and expanding domestic manufacturing capabilities,” said Joseph Anis, president and CEO for GE Vernova’s gas power business in Europe, Middle East and Africa. “Aligned with Saudi Vision 2030, we are proud the turbine was completed and delivered from GESAT, advancing local industrialization and strengthening the Kingdom’s power sector.”
Since its establishment in 2017, GESAT has played an important role in meeting the Kingdom’s demand for gas turbines, specifically through the localized completion of high-performance F-class and H-class gas turbines, and the manufacturing of post cast components and accessory modules.
GESAT was formerly a joint venture between Dussur and GE Vernova. In September 2024, GE Vernova acquired Dussur’s shares to continue enabling economic diversification, localization, high value exports, and talent development efforts in the country to support the Kingdom’s goals under Saudi Vision 2030. The facility is a part of the GE Manufacturing and Technology Center campus.
GE Vernova has contributed to the development of the Kingdom’s energy infrastructure for approximately 90 years. Today, the company’s investments in the country include the Khobar Integration Facility for grid solutions and the GEMTEC campus, which houses a Service and Repairs Center for gas turbines, the MENA Decarbonization Center of Excellence, and a Monitoring and Diagnostics Center for the remote monitoring of power generation assets, in addition to GESAT.
