The Saudi Industrial Property Authority (Modon), the government agency which oversees the development of industrial cities in Saudi Arabia, recently signed two agreements with Saudi Electricity Company (SEC) to provide electricity for the industrial cities in Sudair and Dammam.
Under the agreement, SEC will be responsible for constructing power plants, substations, and transmission lines to power the new cities. The first phase of the contract is expected to be completed by the end of 2010.
Director General of Modon Dr. Tawfig Bin Fawzan Alrabiah and Eng. Ali Bin Saleh Al-Barrak, CEO of Saudi Electricity Company have signed the agreements.
The estimated value of the projects is SR619 million. The two agreements between Modon and the Saudi Electricity Company (SEC) included an agreement for the establishment of the necessary equipment for the conduction of electrical service to the industrial cities in the Kingdom and one for the conduction of electricity current to industrial cities in both Sudair and Dammam.
The establishment of the necessary equipment for the conduction of electrical service to the industrial cities in the Kingdom at an estimated cost of SR300 million. The project includes the establishment of distribution networks of medium voltage (13,8 K.V, 33 K.V or 34.5 K.V) through supplying and extending the medium voltage cables in front of all the land plots approved by Modon in different industrial cities in the Kingdom and the installation of the necessary distribution stations for supplying the administrative plants in these industrial cities.
