Shoaiba Power and Desalination Plants, Power and desalination complex near Jeddah, Saudi Arabia

Shoaiba Power and Desalination Plants comprise a coastal facility in Mecca Province that combines electricity generation with water production systems. The complex operates multiple units along the Red Sea shoreline, serving regional energy and freshwater needs.

The complex began operating in 2001 following a major investment in regional infrastructure development. This establishment responded to growing demands for reliable electricity supply and freshwater production along the Saudi coast.

The development of this infrastructure reflects Saudi Arabia's industrial advancement and technological capabilities in managing natural resources for public benefit.

The site is located in a coastal industrial zone accessible from nearby Jeddah and can be viewed from certain vantage points along the shoreline. Keep in mind that this is an active industrial facility with limited public access to operational areas.

The facility reuses seawater in an integrated process where cooling water from the power generation units also feeds the desalination system. This dual-purpose approach allows the plant to produce both electricity and fresh water simultaneously from the same coastal resource.
