The consortium comprising France's TotalEnergies and Saudi developer Aljomaih Energy & Water (AEW) has been awarded by the Saudi Power Procurement Company (SPPC) the license to develop, build, and operate a 400 megawatt (MW) solar power plant in As Sufun, Saudi Arabia, following a tender process. The electricity produced will be sold to SPPC through a 25-year Power Purchase Agreement (PPA).

The solar plant is expected to connect to the grid in 2027 and will power more than 68,400 homes. The project is located in the Hail region and represents the second success for the TotalEnergies-Aljomaih consortium in the Saudi National Renewable Energy Program.

National Renewable Energy Program Integration

The As Sufun project is part of Round 6 of the National Renewable Energy Program (NREP) overseen by the Ministry of Energy. The program aims to reduce reliance on liquid fuels in electricity generation, aligning with Saudi Vision 2030, where Saudi Arabia aims to increase the installed capacity shares from renewable energy sources and energy storage systems to reach up to 50% by 2030, subject to electricity demand growth.

The 400 MW As Sufun Solar PV Project demonstrates the Kingdom's ongoing efforts to expand renewable energy investments as part of the Saudi Green Initiative and Saudi Vision 2030 objectives to build a thriving, sustainable economy.
