The Saudi Power Purchasing Company (SPPC) announced the requirements for four solar projects totaling 3.7 GW as part of the Saudi Arabian government's fifth round of nationwide renewable energy bidding. The total capacity of these projects accounts for a quarter of the total tendered energy capacity, with the goal of producing 27.5G W of renewable energy by 2030.
As part of the Saudi Arabian government's fifth renewable energy tender program, the Saudi Power Purchasing Company (SPPC) announced a Request for Proposal (RFQ) for solar projects totaling 3.7 GW for four projects. SPPC
said this week that four solar projects in Saudi Arabia, totaling 3.7 GW, have published tender requirements as part of the Saudi Arabian government's fifth round of the National Renewable Energy Tendering Program (NREP).
According to the press release, the four projects include the 2GW Al Sadawi plant in the east of the country and the 1GW (AC) Al Masa project in the northern Hail province. Also included are the 400 MW (AC) Al Henakiyah Phase II plant in western Medina Province and the 300 MW (AC) Rabigh II Array in western Mecca Province.
SPPC said in the announcement that the project will be supervised by it. SPPC is the state-owned enterprise responsible for purchasing electricity from independent power generation enterprises, and will be responsible for the pre-development, bidding and subsequent "off-take" of energy. These projects represent a quarter of the total tendered energy capacity (12.6 GW)
as part of the NREP Renewable Energy Program. The NREP aims to "maximize" the country's renewable energy potential, according to its website. Saudi Arabia's main solar lobby group says the government aims to produce 27.5G W of renewable energy by 2030. By the end of last year, the country was estimated to have achieved 390 MW of installed capacity, according to the International Renewable Energy Association, a significant leap from the country's current installed capacity.
