Applus+ awarded four strategic contracts with leading power company in Saudi Arabia

These contracts cover operations in all four regions of the country — Central, Eastern, Western, and Southern — and encompass a broad scope of services designed to modernise and reinforce the national power distribution network. With Saudi Arabia’s growing demand for electricity and increasing focus on grid reliability, efficiency, and sustainability, these services play a crucial role in ensuring uninterrupted service to millions of residents and businesses across the country.

The contracts cover four key service areas:

Summer Readiness 2025 and Beyond
Applus+ will assess and prepare the distribution network across all regions to handle peak seasonal demand. This includes evaluating current infrastructure, identifying potential bottlenecks, and implementing action plans to ensure uninterrupted power supply during the critical summer months.

Development of Standards and Specifications
Working closely with the client’s technical teams, Applus+ will contribute to the design and development of engineering standards and material specifications that govern the performance, safety, and resilience of the power distribution network. These standards are critical for ensuring consistency across all future upgrades and expansions.

Contract & Construction Support and Capital Project Development
Applus+ will provide technical advisory services for planning, executing, and monitoring major capital investment projects. This includes pre-feasibility studies, construction supervision, and contract management, ensuring that every project is delivered on time, within budget, and to the highest quality and safety standards.

Technical Services and Quality Audits
Through independent technical reviews and field inspections, Applus+ will carry out quality audits to confirm compliance with design, safety, and operational procedures. These services are vital for ensuring that all projects meet the client's expectations and regulatory requirements.

This multi-contract award not only reflects Applus+’ capabilities in engineering, project management, and quality assurance, but also highlights its growing role in the development of Saudi Arabia’s power sector under Vision 2030. With a strong local presence and a multidisciplinary team of experts, Applus+ is well-positioned to contribute to the Kingdom’s goals of grid modernization, operational excellence, and sustainable energy delivery.

The contracts also reinforce the trust and partnership that Applus+ has built with key stakeholders in the region, and represent a significant step forward in its regional strategy for the power and utilities sector.
