The Empty Quarter Power Plant’s design expresses the industrial strength and resilience of Saudi Arabia. Its simple, durable structural form is highlighted by grey and red metal cladding, chosen for its historical ties to the Industrial Revolution and its representation of technological and economic progress. Situated on the Omani border, this power plant stands as a permanent symbol of Saudi Arabia’s industrial and economic influence in the region.
