GE Vernova Operations at Jafurah Cogeneration ISPP

GE Vernova together with ADIPEC announced that commercial operations have started at Jafurah ISPP (Independent Steam and Power Plan).

The new facility is set to be among the most productive power plants in Saudi Arabia. The plant is expected to deliver up to 314 tons/hour of steam, as well as up to 320 megawatts (MW).

“Significantly increasing gas production capacity over the next decade will positively contribute to the Kingdom’s energy mix and support self-sufficiency in gas supply as demand for power continues to grow in residential and industrial sectors,” said a representative of Doosan Enerbility.

Due to the project direct and indirect job roles have boosted the local economy and domestic manufacturing capabilities have been expanded.

GE Vernova have been working in the Kingdom for circa 90-years, working on projects such as a centre for excellence, a monitoring & diagnostics centre, a service & repairs facility for gas turbines, and is a Gold Sponsor at ADIPEC 2025, taking place November 3–6.

ZNPP successfully reconnect Ukraine’s electrical grid

The Zaporizhzhya Nuclear Power Plant (ZNPP) in Ukraine has been successfully reconnected to the national grid after enduring a full month without external power.

This reconnection was made possible through repairs conducted under a locally negotiated ceasefire, facilitated and monitored by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).

The restored 750 kV Dniprovska power line now supplies the electricity needed to cool the plant’s six inactive reactors and spent fuel, allowing the shutdown of emergency diesel generators that had been sustaining the site.

This marks the tenth—and longest—complete loss of off-site power for ZNPP since the conflict began.

The IAEA praised technicians on both sides of the frontline for their cooperation and resilience in restoring power under challenging conditions.

Further repairs are planned for the damaged Ferosplavna-1 line, with the IAEA continuing to advocate for adherence to its Five Concrete Principles to prevent nuclear accidents, especially the protection of off-site power.
