Marafiq, the power and water utility for Saudi Arabian cities Jubail and Yanbu, has invited tenders from international firms to build a $1.5b 850MW (megawatt) steam turbine power plant in Yanbu.

The oil-fired plant is being built to cope with the increasing power demand from the industrial city and will supplement the current system of oil-fired steam turbine power plants, to help increase power capacity.

Arabian Business reported that Germany's Siemens, Spain's Tecnicas Reunidas and Italy's Saipem and US engineering company Bechtel had all been invited to bid, according to sources.
