The Tabuk Military Base Power Station is a key infrastructure asset in Saudi Arabia's power generation grid, located on the continent of Asia. Designated as a fossil fuel electricity generation station, the facility features an installed capacity of 0 MW. Its primary operation relies on harnessing oil energy resources to generate bulk electricity. Operational management and ownership of the facility are handled by the Saudi Electricity Company, which oversees daily maintenance and grid dispatch integration. An exact commissioning date for the installation is not registered in official historical logs. In terms of domestic production capacity within Saudi Arabia, Tabuk Military Base Power Station occupies the #71 position among all operational oil power plants. Its 0 MW capacity represents a 0.00% share of Saudi Arabia's total installed oil generating capacity, which currently stands at 65,900 MW. The largest operational oil installation in Saudi Arabia is the SHAIBA (SEC) with an output of 6,794 MW, making the Tabuk Military Base Power Station approximately 1.0 times smaller by comparison. Across all fuel types and electricity generation technologies country-wide, this facility accounts for 0.0000% of Saudi Arabia's aggregate generation capacity of 144,277 MW. Based on historical capacity factors characteristic of oil power plants (modeled at 15% for analysis), the facility's expected annual electricity generation is calculated at approximately 0 MWh. Applying domestic consumption statistics where an average household in Saudi Arabia consumes 3 MWh of electricity annually, this level of production is sufficient to meet the energy demands of roughly 0 homes. By utilizing traditional thermal power processes, the station delivers reliable dispatchable energy to the grid, supporting grid resilience during periods of low renewable resource availability and satisfying industrial base-load demands. The physical site of the station is located at geographic coordinates 28.3301° latitude and 36.5847° longitude. Analysis of local grid infrastructure shows a density of other assets within a 50-kilometer radius. These nearby facilities include TABUK-2 (oil, 985.4 MW), Tabuk Power Plant (oil, 744 MW), TABUK-1 (oil, 102.0 MW), representing a cluster of localized power assets. This geographic placement is vital for reinforcing regional distribution infrastructure and minimizing transmission line losses across this sector of Saudi Arabia.
