ACWA Power, Ethosenergy Launch On-Site Rotor Life Extension For GE Turbines In Saudi Arabia

(MENAFN- Trend News Agency) BAKU, Azerbaijan, July 29. NOMAC Maintenance Energy Services (NMES), the field service arm of Saudi-based ACWA Power, and global turbine engineering firm EthosEnergy have signed a strategic collaboration agreement to deliver an on-site Rotor Lifetime Assessment and Extension (RLE) solution for GE Frame 7E, EA, and FA gas turbines in Saudi Arabia, Trend reports via ACWA Power.

The partnership introduces a fully integrated, end-to-end service offering for gas turbine operators across the region, aimed at reducing maintenance turnaround times, costs, and logistical complexity. The RLE solution will include on-site rotor lifetime assessments, supply of new or refurbished seed rotors, non-destructive testing (NDT), precision machining, component replacement, and inspection services.

EthosEnergy brings deep technical expertise in rotor design, refurbishment, and component supply, with a global track record across Westinghouse and GE turbine technologies ranging from Frame 3 to Frame 9. The company is widely recognized as a trusted alternative OEM provider of rotor and hot gas path components.

NMES, as ACWA Power's long-term service agreement (LTSA) and field execution provider, specializes in bringing advanced workshop-level services directly to project sites. Its offerings include rotor unstacking/restacking, laser welding, on-site balancing, critical inspections, and component replacement-all of which help avoid delays related to overseas transport and customs clearance.

The new RLE solution is expected to enhance operational reliability for gas-fired power plants across Saudi Arabia and potentially throughout the wider Middle East region.
