The Al-Lith 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. The plant's operating entity is not publicly declared in national utility registries. An exact commissioning date for the installation is not registered in official historical logs. In terms of domestic production capacity within Saudi Arabia, Al-Lith 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 Al-Lith 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 20.1397° latitude and 40.2814° longitude. A review of spatial data shows no other significant power generating installations within 50 kilometers, demonstrating the plant's solitary role in serving localized regional demand centres. This geographic placement is vital for reinforcing regional distribution infrastructure and minimizing transmission line losses across this sector of Saudi Arabia.
