The initiative, launched in collaboration with the UNCCD, seeks to shift the focus from reactive crisis response to proactive preparedness.
The SPPC unveiled the prequalified developers for the tender, which aims to add 4,500 MW of solar and wind capacity to Saudi’s energy mix.
The project will cover an area of 420,000 square meters and is designed to reduce the carbon footprint of the energy-intensive cement industry while supporting Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 renewable energy objectives.
The project seeks to leverage the benefits of floating solar technology, particularly suitable for densely populated regions where land is limited.
The MOU outlines plans to integrate Tadweer’s production of Refuse Derived Fuel (RDF) and processed Construction and Demolition Waste (CDW) into EMSTEEL’s manufacturing facilities, including the Al Ain Cement Plant and Emirates Block Factory
The successful synchronisation of Redstone CSP to South Africa’s national grid, achieved through ACWA Power’s collaboration with Herlogas and SEPCOIII, strengthens ACWA Power’s position as the leading private investor in Africa’s renewable energy sector
Once completed, the solar and storage facilities are expected to deliver around 2,400 gigawatt-hours of electricity annually
The project will feature two million high-efficiency bifacial solar panels mounted on single-axis trackers, designed to increase energy capture by tracking the sun’s movement
The deal positions Al Yamamah at the forefront of Saudi Arabia’s strategy to become a regional leader in wind energy equipment manufacturing
