Saudi Aramco, the world’s largest state-owned oil company, plans to double its power-generating capacity to 4,000 megawatts by 2015 to supply all the electricity it expects to need to produce crude and natural gas.
The company is expanding power plants at existing oil and gas sites and aims to build generators for refineries and other facilities that are under development, Ziyad Al Shiha, the executive director of Aramco Power Systems, told reporters today at a conference in Dhahran, Saudi Arabia.
