The first phase of the implementation of the BEMCO project in Saudi Arabia ends successfully

The technicians from Jema have successfully completed the first phase of the implementation of the systems for the BEMCO project. This project began in November 2012, when Saudi engineering awarded Jema the contract for the supply of electronic power equipment for the country’s electricity company.

Jema has began to install the UPS systems, Rectifiers and NiCd batteries in the PP10 plant. It is the biggest combined cycle plant in the world. This energy plant is located on the outskirts of the city of Riyadh.

The project of the power plant tackles the energy deficits that the country suffers during the summer months. Once it has been completed, it will increase the energy generation capacity of the central operational area of the Saudi Electricity Company (SEC) by
20%, thereby contributing to the improvement of the reliability of the service and electrical energy supply to its clients.

The PP10 entails the recent expansion of the SEC facilities in
Riyadh, which currently has a capacity of 10,000 megawatts.
