Saudi Electricity Company is expected to extend the deadline for bids to develop the Rabigh independent power project (IPP) by four weeks, according to a source close to the scheme.

The IPP will have a capacity of 1,200MW.
Potential bidding groups for the project include Belgium’s Suez Energy International with the UK’s International Power and Saudi Oger; the local Acwa Power Projects with Korea Electric Power Corporation and Japan’s Mitsubishi Corporation; and Japan’s Marubeni Corporation with the local United Infrastructure Developers Company.
A fourth group includes the local National Power Company and Abu Dhabi National Energy Company (Taqa).
