USP&E Global: The Leading HFO and Natural Gas Turbine Supplier in the Middle East

Powering Progress Across Saudi Arabia, UAE, Iraq, Qatar, and Beyond


Why the Middle East Trusts USP&E for Critical Power Solutions

When multinational industrials, utilities, and data center operators need reliable power generation in challenging Middle Eastern environments, they turn to USP&E Global — the region's premier supplier of HFO (Heavy Fuel Oil) and natural gas turbine power solutions.

With over 23 years of proven execution across 35+ countries and current operations spanning Saudi Arabia (NEOM), UAE, Iraq, and Qatar, USP&E combines entrepreneurial speed with engineering excellence to deliver where others hesitate.


What Makes USP&E the #1 Choice for Middle East Power Projects

1. Unmatched Regional Experience

USP&E doesn't just sell equipment — we design, build, and operate power stations across the Middle East's most demanding environments:

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can USP&E deliver HFO power stations in under 6 months?

A: HFO plants require 9-14 months from deposit to commissioning due to engineering, civil works, and balance of plant manufacturing. We have completed installations in 6-8 months when containerized equipment and pre-engineered BOP were available, but this is exceptional. For fast-track power (under 90 days), we recommend diesel or natural gas turbine solutions.

Q: Do you charge inspection fees?

A: Yes. USP&E charges $20,000 for equipment inspections (refundable if equipment is not as represented, 50% credited to purchase if buyer proceeds). This qualifies serious buyers and ensures our engineering team supports the inspection properly. Client's third-party inspector (SGS, TUV) costs $10-25k separately.

Q: Can you convert 60Hz turbines to 50Hz for Middle East projects?

A: Aeroderivative turbines like GE LM2500/TM2500 can switch frequencies with control system changes. Reciprocating engines at 1500/1800 RPM can be converted cost-effectively. Industrial frame turbines (GE Frame 6/9, Siemens SGT) require major modifications. We provide budget estimates after NDA and project qualification.

Q: What's included in your O&M contracts?

A: Guaranteed availability (typically 90-95%), scheduled maintenance, emergency repairs, remote monitoring, spare parts management, and trained on-site technicians. Pricing structured as $/kWh or fixed monthly fee depending on client preference.

Q: How do you handle payment for Middle East projects?

A: We accept USD, EUR, or Bitcoin. Typical terms: 20% deposit to reserve equipment, 30% upon shipment, 40% upon delivery to site, 10% upon successful commissioning. We work with international banks and can accommodate LC (Letter of Credit) structures for utility-scale projects.
