Saudi Arabia: Al Jouf Cement has awarded US-based Altec a six-month turnkey contract worth US$7.43m for the design, supply and installation of electrical interconnections at its Turaif cement plant in Northern Borders Province. The project will connect the plant to the electrical grid, as part of the government’s Liquid Fuel Displacement Programme to supplant oil-fired generators in industry, agriculture and utilities. In a filing to the Saudi Stock Exchange, the cement producer said that the project is scheduled for delivery in early 2027.
