(referred to as "Shandong Electric Power Construction"), successfully won the bid in mid-June 2026 for the 380kV overhead line project in the Yanbu Industrial Park of Saudi Red Sea Aluminium. Located in the Yanbu Industrial Park on the western coast of Saudi Arabia along the Red Sea, this project serves as the core energy transmission channel for the entire aluminum industry complex, undertaking the key task of providing stable high-voltage power supply for electrolytic aluminum production, product deep processing, and various supporting facilities.
Shandong Electric Power Construction Co., Ltd. is a wholly-owned subsidiary of PowerChina, and is a comprehensive engineering company integrating investment, financing, survey, design, equipment supply, construction, commissioning, and operation. Since 2000, Shandong Electric Power Construction has focused on EPC general contracting, with business spanning Asia, Africa, South America, and other regions. The company has extensive project execution experience in the Saudi market, having undertaken major projects such as the Yanbu Phase III Fuel Oil Power Plant, the Jubail Phase II Seawater Desalination Project, and the Laila 380kV Substation.
Saudi Red Sea Aluminium is an emerging large-scale comprehensive aluminum industry platform in Saudi Arabia, dedicated to promoting the modernization and sustainable development of the local aluminum industry. Actively responding to Saudi Arabia's "Vision 2030" strategic deployment for industrial diversification and efficient energy utilization, the company plans to build a modern aluminum industry complex in the Yanbu Industrial Park, integrating alumina, carbon, red mud treatment, industrial silicon, and a thermal power plant. The overall project plans an annual output of 2 million tons of alumina and 600,000 tons of carbon, with supporting comprehensive utilization of red mud and a captive thermal power plant. The total investment for Phase I is $1.835 billion, aiming to establish an integrated industrial base with an annual output of 1 million tons of electrolytic aluminum and deep processing; Phase II is expected to commence within 2026, and upon completion, it will become a benchmark for the modern aluminum industry with significant influence in the Middle East.
The 380kV overhead line won in this bid is a key infrastructure for the park's power supply, playing a vital role in ensuring the project's timely commissioning and stable, efficient production. The successful bid for this project marks a significant breakthrough for Shandong Electric Power Construction in deeply participating in China-Saudi production capacity cooperation and expanding its presence in the high-end power market of the Middle East.
