Once operational in Q3 2026, Al Ajban is expected to generate enough electricity to power 160,000 homes and reduce carbon dioxide emissions by over 2.4 million tons annually.

The agreements include a 5 GW floating solar power project on Lake Nasser and a 2.8 GW solar project in Nagaa Hammadi

The project introduces a mobile platform designed to capture up to 0.25 tonnes of CO2 per day, providing a practical model for future carbon capture applications in the power generation sector.

Once commissioned, the BESS installations will enhance the country’s energy security by stabilizing the electrical grid and supporting a reliable power supply.

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 new developments align with Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 energy goals, which aim to generate 50% of the Kingdom’s electricity from efficient gas technology and the remainder from renewable energy sources.
