Prince Abdulaziz bin Salman bin Abdulaziz, the Minister of Energy, was there to see the signing.

The two projects will cost about SAR 15 billion (US$ 4 billion) and will produce 3.6 gigawatts (GW) of power. These projects are a key part of Saudi Arabia’s plan to use cleaner energy. The plants will use new gas turbines that help save energy and create less pollution than oil-based plants.
