It ranks as the 57th largest oil plant in Saudi Arabia. With a capacity of 103.2 MW, it represents 0.16% of the country’s total oil capacity of 66,128 MW. Saudi Arabia has 79 oil plants with a combined capacity of 66,128 MW. Compared to the largest oil plant in the country, SHAIBA (SEC) at 6,794 MW, TABARJAL is roughly 1.5% the size.

Oil remains a dominant energy source in Saudi Arabia, contributing significantly to the country’s electricity generation.
