Pat O'Doherty, ESB Chief Executive, said: "Announcing this exciting new contract with the Saudi Electricity Company on the occasion of the consultancy’s 40th anniversary is very appropriate. Our ability to continue to win this level of business, in a very competitive market in a region that we have targeted for growth, is a testament to the experience and skills of ESB staff honed here in Ireland.
"In winning this new business, we were pitched against some of the larger consulting firms from Australia, Canada, Finland, Germany and Switzerland, where we had the competitive advantage of understanding the challenges that energy utilities face."
