GE to Build Energy Training Center in Saudi Arabia
GE is adding a Saudi Arabia-based training center at the site of the new GE Energy Manufacturing Technology Center in Dammam. The training center will bring GE’s total investment in the Dammam site to approximately US$100 million.
The training center will offer technology and managerial courses for college students, field engineers and other power industry professionals throughout the region, according to the company. By developing local talent for the energy industry, the center will help provide the expertise to meet Saudi Arabia’s power demand, which has been growing 8% or more per year, supporting the area’s growing population and economy, said GE.
GE has more than 400 turbines installed in Saudi Arabia. The center will join several other global energy training facilities established by GE in Europe, the United States and China. The curriculum will be tailored to the needs of the region.
Developed in association with GE’s joint venture partner Ali A. Tamimi Co., the center encompasses more than 10 000 m² and adds capability to provide advanced gas turbine service while also reducing cycle time, said the company.
