• Al-Bawani Holding: Major Saudi EPC contractor active in industrial, infrastructure, and energy projects. Competes with GPI for power and industrial construction contracts inside Saudi Arabia.
• SEPCO3 Electric Power Construction: Chinese EPC subsidiary of PowerChina executing large thermal and renewable power projects across Saudi Arabia and the GCC. Competes with GPI on turnkey power plant construction in the same geography.

Direct peers

• MAN Energy Solutions: Provider of large-bore gas and steam turbines with global service network. Competes with GPI for turbine maintenance, overhaul, and after-market service on multi-MW units in the Middle East.
• Doosan Heavy Industries & Construction: Korean EPC and OEM providing turnkey thermal power plant construction and O&M in the Middle East. Competes with GPI on turnkey builds and long-term maintenance for utilities and IWPPs.
• Técnicas Reunidas: Spanish EPC contractor active in Saudi Arabia on combined-cycle and cogeneration power projects. Competes with GPI for turnkey thermal EPC scopes and follow-on maintenance.
• GE Vernova: Power OEM (formerly GE Power) providing gas, steam, and grid equipment plus long-term service agreements in Saudi Arabia. Competes with GPI for thermal plant O&M scope, especially where its own turbines are installed.
• Mitsubishi Power: OEM of heavy-duty gas turbines and steam turbines with significant installed capacity in Saudi (e.g., Rabigh, Yanbu). Provides O&M and aftermarket services that overlap directly with GPI's maintenance contracts.
• Siemens Energy: Global OEM of gas and steam turbines with a large installed base in Saudi Arabia and a substantial field service / O&M business. Directly competes with GPI for turbine maintenance and overhaul contracts on its own and multi-OEM fleets.

Emerging players
