DUBAI, Oct 9 (Reuters) - Saudi Arabia's Power and Utility Company for Jubail and Yanbu (Marafiq) has set the price range for its potential initial public offering at 41 to 46 riyals ($10.91-12.24) a share, HSBC said on Sunday.

HSBC and Riyad Capital are financial advisers, joint global coordinators and bookrunners on the IPO, which began book-building on Sunday for a roughly 30% free float of the company, HSBC said in a stock exchange filing.

Marafiq, which aims to list on Riyadh's Tadawul bourse, will sell 29.24% of its issued share capital, just over 73 million shares, by selling shares held by investors owning stakes of 5% or more.
