Energy contracts for Jubail and Yanbou
Article Abstract:
Contracts are to be offered to the energy sector to expand the existing gas, water and energy infrastructure of Jubail and Yanbou in Saudi Arabia. The Royal Commission leading the project is headed by Prince Abdullah bin Faisal bin Turki and the cost is estimated to be $3.5 billion. The two cities provide Saudi with 50% of its industrial output and 140 industries are based there. Saudi Arabia receives a yearly profit of $150 million from its 8 sea ports and the policy of port privatisation is to be accelerated. A major investment of about $155 million will be spent improving the country's 25 airports prior to privatisation.
