Power Factor Correction in Riyadh
Saudi Power Factor Company provides power factor correction in Riyadh by building every panel in Dammam and delivering it by road, roughly 400 km, to your plant or building. Riyadh buyers get a witnessed test in our workshop before dispatch, so the panel arrives proven. Send your bill and we return a sized proposal with the delivery plan (about 4 hours by road from Dammam).
What you receive: a written Riyadh proposal with the kVAr rating, panel schedule, test plan, delivery route and price within one working day of getting your bill. Request a quotation
How is a Riyadh order delivered from Dammam?
Distance is the main difference from our Eastern Province work, so we plan the project around the journey rather than around a site visit.
| Stage | What happens | Where |
|---|---|---|
| Sizing | Bill or logger data turned into kVAr and steps | Dammam office |
| Build and test | Assembly to IEC 61439-1/-2, routine tests | Dammam workshops |
| Witness test | Your engineer or consultant attends, or receives the test record | Dammam or remote |
| Dispatch | Panel crated and sent by road to site | Dammam to Riyadh |
| Commissioning | Connection, step test under load | Your Riyadh site |
We commission with our own engineers travelling from Dammam, and we agree access and the shutdown with your site team. Our two workshops are in Dammam and we take projects in all regions of Saudi Arabia.
What is a power factor tariff?
It is the part of an electricity tariff that charges or credits a consumer according to the power factor of their load, instead of billing kWh alone. Where it applies, a low figure raises your cost every month. SEC sets the rules and the thresholds. Under the Saudi Electricity Company tariff: 0.90 is the minimum above 1 MVA contract load; we design to 0.95. Our guide to the power factor penalty shows how we read the bill.
How do you select an APFC panel rating for Riyadh?
Start from the maximum demand, the present and target power factor, and the transformer rating. Then decide the number of steps so that the controller can follow the load without hunting. We do this for you, and the method is set out on our panel design and sizing page, with our APFC panels page covering controller and step options.
Is 0.9 power factor good?
For many tariffs it is acceptable, but it is not always the cheapest target. Going from 0.90 to 0.95 raises transformer headroom and cuts losses, and the extra capacitors are often small. We compare the cost of the extra kVAr with the penalty you would still pay before choosing the target.
Power factor correction in Riyadh: where we can work
Riyadh orders typically come from food and beverage plants, plastics and packaging works, building-materials and pharmaceutical sites, data halls, hospitals and large commercial buildings. We can supply for the Riyadh 1st and 2nd Industrial Cities and for Sudair Industrial City, as well as city offices and towers. Panels can be placed under an annual service plan; see maintenance contracts. Eastern Province sites are covered on our regional page.

Riyadh power factor questions
Who provides power factor correction in Riyadh?
Saudi Power Factor Company provides power factor correction in Riyadh from its Dammam base, delivering factory-tested panels to Riyadh sites. We hold ISO 9001, 14001 and 45001, and approvals from Saudi Aramco and SABIC.
What affects the cost of a Riyadh APFC panel?
The kVAr, the number of steps, detuning for drives, enclosure rating and the voltage level set the price. Freight from Dammam and the commissioning arrangement are added to the Riyadh quotation, and we show them as separate lines so you can compare.
How long does it take to deliver to Riyadh?
Lead time is 2–3 weeks for an APFC panel and 3–4 weeks for a detuned bank, plus the road journey from Dammam of about 4 hours. Drawing approval and your commissioning date usually decide the schedule more than the build does, so we agree the dates early.
Can you test the panel before it leaves Dammam?
Yes. Your engineer or consultant can attend the routine tests in our workshop, or we send the signed test record and photographs before dispatch. Problems are found and corrected in Dammam, not on your Riyadh site.
Is there a power factor correction company near me in Riyadh?
Our office is in Dammam, not Riyadh. We quote remotely from your bill, and our engineers travel for installation or surveys where needed. We commission with our own engineers and agree access and the shutdown with your site team.
